Fridge/Freezer Fridge doesn't work any more. SMEG model is about 10 years old. Light on fridge door still works. Freezer still works (although has not been defrosted for a long time - about 1 year). Fridge stopped working 2 days ago and defrosted itself. No coldness inside fridge compartment. Do not know how to get it working again. How much would it cost to get the problem fixed?

you may have a faulty defrost timer, best consult a local dom apps store.

We had the same problem and were told that gas was not circulating properly. We had it topped up, but it broke a week later. It had to be scrapped.

Check the seal is tight all around the door - clean it to within an inch of it's life.

Then make sure the drain hole (inside at the bottom of the fridge) isn't blocked (a long handled screwdriver with kitchen roll wrapped around it will suffice). You can tell the drain hole is blocked as it's characterised by the door being difficult to open in quick succession (plus - you can see it's blocked).

Next, defrost the fridge completely: Power off, open door on freezer compartment & fridge and mop up the damp. When totally dry, turn back on (without food - let it cool properly before putting food back).

I had the condensation problem and it's now sorted. Not sure which cause was responsible, but the 'solution' is worth a try.
