Our fridge has died... or at least semi-died. It's a fridge-freezer, separate doors for each. The fridge is room temperature, the freezer happily freezes things. Mark is baffled because it should just be one system and the vents seem to be functioning fine. And there don't seem to be any repair guys specifically for our brand of fridge. Given the

Try doing what we do: get six water bottles and freeze them. Put three at a time in the fridge and swap them every day. Voila: fridge!

Our fridge was doing that. The vent from freezer to fridge was iced up. Defrosting the whole thing helped the first time. But the vent did not completely unblock and so it froze up pretty quickly again. We also had a fridge which not many people wanted to service but we did find someone. And I would be happy to reccomend him if you want the number. Fortunately while we were struggling with the fridge we had a second out in the workshop that kept us going.

If you guys want to borrow our bar fridge until you get fixed up give us a call.

By the way we got a good deal on our new fridge at good guys Belco.

ask Manhos in Fyshwick, they are pretty good generalists.

Freeze milk bottles of water in the freezer and put them in the fridge.

You can also manually bypass the thermostat, but it doesn't sound like that's the issue.

Oh, have you completely defrosted the fridge? Sometimes the freezer goes beserk if the coils get iced up too much.

bing lee is currently advertising 'buy a fridge, get a free turkey'. No idea whether it's actually a good deal, but worth checking.
