Fridge advice please

[Old Perennial]

Hello All,

I have an under the counter fridge in my kitchen which is about 11 years old and is currently showing 15degrees C. ( setting on max) Its never been what I call "cold" since it was installed with the kitchen.

Im wonderring if its better to replace the fridge with a new eco model rather than spend money on a repair or re gassing. What else could be the problem?

Advice very much appriciated

Thanks.

Fridges are cheap. Engineers are expensive. Buy a new one. Newer fridges are more efficient. There may be several problems with your fridge - low refrigerant may have caused other problems, including compressor damage. The door seals may be worn and the thermostat may be broken. A new fridge is the best bet. Not worth repairing an old one.

Take the door off the old one and seperate them before throwing it.

I wonder if this fridge ever had adequate ventilation from the start!
