regassing

[jakeyseven]

just been quoted for regassing on my fridge freezer it is a hotpoint frost free . he has told me that it needs regasing and he cannot guarentee as it could leak again. is it worth getting regassed or could it be something else as the temp flucturates and the fan is not working

fffa90.the guy came out and took the back panel off the freezer , there was ice at the top of what i can only describe as a car radiator/ sorry/ .
the temperature has been going up and down from 8 degrees to minus 2 degrees and when i try to fast freeze it wont. the guy checked the fan with a electrical defice and said that it was working but would not work untill sufficient temp was maintained in freezer even though the fridge is now warm. please help. i need to solve this because i dont know what is going on and i nearly parted with 80 pounds for regas

Quite a common fault freezer is ok fridge is warm ,total defrost for 24 hrs is all that it needs , just switch off so ice melts in the tube then turn back on,no regas is needed.

Yes ice round the fan will stop it ,also it's up to temp in freezer so will not work untill defrost
