Hi all,

Am new here and came across form Google.

My tale is:

I've got a 9 yr old idesit fridge/freezer.

The freezer is fine, if anything freezes up like an eskimo pie !

The fridge is cool at best. it used to get some ice etc on the of the fridge (inside the fridge that is) but not anymore

It has one compressor, all looks ok? the light comes on and you can hear a gentle buzz.

the thermostat is on 5 (full) I remember that the fridge used to be quite loud, but not so now. Also when i had it on full, I used to be able to turn it down to say 2 or 3 and the compressor noise, would stop, nothing like that now.

the compressor motor at back does get hot as well, the fins get warmish, does the fridge posistion matter, its against a window, before it was in a corner.

anything I can check, also is regassing expensive and how can i tell if it needs this

this is a slight tear in the seal, but this is on the outside and deosnt extend to the inside.

also I swear when i switch it off for a while & defrost it or give it a shake I swear it works for a bit

ta


Have been recommded to switch off and leave for 24hours with doors open

am bit loathe as i keep my insulin in it.

cheers
