Ocean Fridge/Freezer

[Holt01]

I have an Ocean fridge freezer - that was bought second hand.
I haven't had it long. It's leaking water from an insulated pipe at the back, presumably from the freezer section. The freezer won't freeze properly and isn't maintaining temperature.
Solutions welcome.
Thanks.

hi holt01, it sounds like the suction < brass < pipe has a lot of condencation leaking through the armaflex insulation, you give a mixed explanation of your situation< like its second hand , presumably from the freezer section < this dos,nt give us facts , I would say < at a guess< your 2nd hand f- freezer is short of gas< which is why it was put up for sale< SOLUTION sell it for peenuts + buy yourself a new f- freezer < + guarontee<

Thanks, Sedgy - and apologies for any confusion.
I mentioned it was second hand to head off suggestions to take it back to where I bought it.
I said 'presumably' because, as the freezer isn't maintaining temperature and the fridge/freezer is leaking I assumed that the two symptoms were connected although I realise they may not be.
Thanks for your solution and, yes, I agree totally with it but, sometimes, solutions are simple, (and inexpensive). Obviously not in this case, (apart from the 'buy new' one) !
