My Fridge freezer is creating a lot of ice both in fridge and freezer dept. The freezer is not freezing properly. Does anyone know a good, reasonably priced engineer?


I've called Hotpoint and they want ?120 just to come out. I've found another place online and they charge ?80 for a diagnostic and then only for parts after that, seems reasonable but I'm concerned that they might 'find' things wrong with it other than the actual prob.....I've read online the prob may be a simple one but how would I know.


If anyone knows someone trustworthy I would appreciate it if you could let me know.


Thanks L

Hi


Just a note sometimes it could mean the seals are not sealing the fridge doors properly having this can cause over freezing. Or the other common problem is that the thermostat is gone.


I would actually check the seals of both the fridge and the freezer to ensure that they are clean and the points of contact with the door seal and the fridge/freezers are also clean. Make sure that there are no splits as well with the door seal.


I know this may or may not be the solution, but it might just work!


Regards


Mason

if the seals were good your would get condesation in the fridge, not ice. A useful test is to put a ?10 note between the door and seal (closed). If you can pull it out easliy (ie with no friction) it's a sign the door seals need replacing.


If the fridge it'self is icing up then it's likely to be something else imo. Could be wrong though.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
