fridges??

  Top of Page

hey trendsetters... me again

does anyone know anything about fridges...????

ive got a 5 year old westinghouse, and the fridge has stopped cooling... the freezer still works fine, but it seem that the fridge part is not cooling at all no matter what i do..

are fridges something that need regassing like air con systems etc or is my firdge just stuffed and me needing a new one??

Mate, you must be cursed. First you car now you fridge.

I reckon if there is no cooling at all it would be unrelated to the refrigerant/gas itself.  I would have thought it would still provide at least a bit of cooling.

I know very little about fridges, but I'd suspect perhaps a thermostat, compressor motor. Something electrical at least.  Especially as its just has stopped cold (pardon the pun lol).

This is a side by side fridge?  Top/bottom would use the same refrigerator cycle (so both would have stopped) where a side by side would have independent ones, would they not?

well its a...... "normal" fridge.. ie the freezer is on top of the fridge sort of set up.

the freezer still works ok, so its still cooling, its just the fridge.. it has digital temp controls and it varies from 1 to 6 deg cel.

the worst thing is.. i have beer in there!!!

just trying to find out what i need to get fixed on it before i just go to some random mechanic and let them tell me whats wrong with it!
