    Help JLFFW 2007 Fridge not working

    My fridge has recently stopped working. The freezer is fine.

    It had been making a louder noise than usual for a few weeks. When I turn it off at the mains and turn it back on again, it sounds as if something is trying to start up (however, only lasts a few seconds).

    I am guessing that this is something to do with the fan, but I don't want to order the part only to find that it's something else.

    Grateful for any sensible suggestions. Many thanks.

    Welcome to Digital Forums.

    Forum etiquette is quite high on the list here, like in real life you treat others with respect and you equally get it back. Contributing to the threads with good constructive posts gets you noticed for all the good reasons. Digging up old threads and the one word posts/replies to threads gets you marked as a post booster; this is not the best way to get you going on DF. With time your post count will go up and you will have full use of the forum. This has been put in place to stop Spammers, Leechers and generally1 post users that want something for nothing, they try and get it and go.

    Digital forums has been going for years and has a large fan base. Some actually pay for the privilege and they get bonuses over non sub people. With time you will build up friends and likewise you will be seen here as someone that can contribute to the DF Community.

    Enjoy your stay

    Thanks to Mickey

    Only way to know for sure is to remove and test the fan. At £20inc, prob worth buying tbh,

    I can't believe that help is being offered to a noob in the intro section. Has DF gone soft?

    Thanks to coin-op

    It's simple if you trace the wires. If the motter don't start...
    Most only have the one ..it's a very simple system

    Does it have a gully at the back for water to drain? or does it have vents? gully = wet wall. Vents then fridge part takes cooling from freezer may need defrosting turn off doors open and towels to catch water. But if its`s a wet wall press back of fridge part to see if its has spongy or soft spots, if it has it`s broke.

    I think its the fact he has asked for help with a Fridge has thrown people - it does make a change from people wanting to leech the shit out of the place
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.
