What's up with my doo yen?

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 13-10-2008, 10:49 AM

Maybe not post worthy but it saves getting a translator, hiding my laptop and calling the landlady, anyway - my fridge stopped humming about 7am, and it's also pissed itself. Does this mean it's old?

It doesn't look old at all, but it must be at least 16 months old. I tried plugging it into a different wall socket but it's still dead and I have a selection of quality cheese inside that I don't fancy scoffing down for breakfast.

It's an LG expresscool fridge that looks as modern as any other and I really need it working again because the puddle is getting bigger and the milk is getting warmer.

Any ideas folks?

Your thermostats broken

**Cujo** · 13-10-2008, 11:08 AM

Do we realy need to tell you?
You can't work this one out for yourself?

Call a fucking repairman.

**Thetyim** · 13-10-2008, 11:10 AM

Might be doing an auto defrost

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 13-10-2008, 11:22 AM

I did wonder about a self defrost, but I defrosted it back in June and it's been fine since. Of the replies so far I think it may be the thermostat, but I wanted to be sure before paying for a repair man to come over and start smiling at all my nice video equipment.

...And why did you leave such a bit gap in your post?

Was it for this?

Artistic expression to represent the contents of your head

No, it means it's not working.

Unplug and empty the fridge, then turn it upside down for about 2 hours, turn back the correct way up and plug it back in.

I bet this fixes the problem.

Why shoot the messenger ?
Cujo left the gap not me.
I only explained it to you

**JoGeAr** · 13-10-2008, 12:58 PM

There should be a dial for temperature setting somewhere (usually near the freezer door). In the middle of this dial is a push/pull button for defrosting. Check that this button hasn't been pushed in.

**CharleyFarley** · 13-10-2008, 01:01 PM

Must have had half a dozen or more appliances stop working, give it to repairman who takes it away, for it to be never seen again.

Subsequent enquires reveal it was not fixable, but we never get the thing back.

**English Noodles** · 13-10-2008, 01:06 PM

I have already told him how to fix it.

By turning it upside down?
A proper kick in stomach height usually makes it..

Yes, it will work.

I think its very cute and sweet and charming that whenever TPC (or Smeg) has a problem or question, his first thought is to turn to Teakdoor.com for advice and answers.

**JoGeAr** · 13-10-2008, 01:42 PM

^ But just look at the brilliant 'advice' he's receiving !!

Isn't this the second thread that Scampt has started discussing refridgeration problems?

No, it means its f*cked. save yourself a lot of pain and heart ache - go buy a new one.

When my fridge went down I got the repairman to call round and left the missus to deal with it.

Mid morning got a call from the missus at work. "Ok, the widget is broken, 500 baht to get a new one". Fine I says and hang up.

10 minutes later another phone calleed " and the thingamygig needs replacing - 1,000 baht" Ok - no probs says I.

10 more minutes another call "and he needs to re-wire the gizmo, and topoff the gas, another 1,500 baht". - tell him to sod off and I'll go get a new one.

10 more minutes anotehr phone call " he asked if he can take the old one away??".

can he f*ck.
