worth fixing!!

[ilovemarkb]

My integrated fridge freezer keeping getting a pool of water in the bottom of the fridge part and not getting cold enough (its about 9 degrees). Can this be fixed with a thermostat? Have no idea what make it is but will have been a cheaper one. It is about 8 years old. Should I just buy a new one? My OH loves trying to fix things so he would certainly have a go!! thanks Julie

Machine make / model, the thermostat is easily fixed Ilove, some are accessible just at the top rear of the unit

[ilovemarkb]

thanks TWR. So are the thermostats specific to the model?

[TWR]

Yes, I replaced one on ours, its a Ariston, depending on your make / Model, Google yours + the Model No, make sure it's a UK site, it took me about an hour to sort.

[TWR]

Whats the make / model No? have a look in your instruction book.

Depending of the make and model there is a drain point at the bottom back of the fridge that may get blocked with a bit of debris which is easily removed and fixes the problem.

Sounds like (as McM says) you need to poke your drainhall with a cocktail stick as well as fixing any thermostat problems.

I cured my LEC fridge freezer of this problem by letting it have an overnight de-frost. The drainage channel gets frozen down near the bottom and the water cannot escape down the tube. I find it needs an overnight defrost every year at least.
