Fault - not cooling - compressor appears to be running - hot to touch, all other components working.
Odd bit is the "at temperature" indicator on the temperature dial is not indicating a problem - just continuous light - this should (and has in the past) flashed if the temperature was too high for the setting (ie greater cooling and it flashes until temp goes down).
I was assuming that some weakness in the pipework had drained the coolant (some nasty headaches and wheeziness from Mr and Mrs I over the past few days but maybe thats coincidental (although r600a can irritate chest apparently) - is a thermostat issue likely ? Fridge is 6yrs old.
Thanks in anticipation
