Calling Fridge Freezer experts! Urgent help needed!!

[breamster]

Hi,

I am in urgent need of help with my Fridge Freezer. We have an integrated Belling fridge freezer (>5 years old) that has developed a very obvious warm (almost hot) spot on the back wall of the fridge bit, inside.

It is about 2/3 up and not near the light (which has never worked) and thermostat.

Any ideas?

Is it safe to use or is it a sign of a wiring fault and needs to be turned off?

I've pulled the unit out and there is nothing to see on the back of the fridge freeze. It is all covered in the wire radiator grill thing and behind that the corrugated black plastic. No wiring etc.

The reason for the urgency is that my dear wife muttered "should we just bite the bullet and get a new kitchen?" I need to get it working again asap otherwise it will cost me £000s!!

P.S. Its not a self defrosting jobby if that makes a difference.

Try googling the make & model number!

Or go on You Tube and enter the info there.

I sorted my fridge freezer out with the help of You Tube.

Dear b,

if it is dead then with some research you may find something that'll fit in the hole.
Otherwise *bay for 2nd hand?

Jet

Disaster averted. I called two repair bods and they both said it wouldn't be worth their time as the likely cost of repair would be too high.

The plan is a cheap replacement. New kitchen is off the agenda ... for the time being. Phew!

Thanks. I had a good google and have found it is a common and terminal fault that is not specific to this model.

Yep - sized up a replacement and have found one for ~£250. Why is January always so bloomin' expensive?
