Hi,

I知 not a refrigeration engineer but wanted to post a question to your engineers forum:

I have a Bosch fridge/freezer which was bought new in 1985 and has worked perfectly well until recently.
However, the fridge has stopped cooling down now & the freezer is definitely not at -18C any longer.
The compressor seems to be running all the time.
Does this need re-gassing?

(I called Bosch & they said it will cost around ｣100 to send out an engineer just to do an estimate for the repairs!)
Somebody else told me that this model would have had the older (better quality) refrigerant in it and now they just use something like lighter fuel).

Thanking you in anticipation,


Andrew, (Bradford)
