Think I'll give the local shop a call and get them to come and look.

I love my fridge freezer, its huge and has all the 'right' space that I need and I have looked for about 6 months to find a new one I like...without success

Cheers T

We don't pay much, but then we do it on a backhander lol.

Helps having a pub full of experts! I'm not saying it's def a regassing issue, all i'm saying is when ours does that we get them regassed, it could be the thermastat, or just your fridge....or maybe even you??

I know just get the OH to replace you? Maybe get a slimmer model in? better doors, tighter fit etc....PMSL :p

Have you tried googling the problem?? Google is your friend....you should know this!!! http://justf**kinggoogleit.com/ (replace the stars for the right letters)

Hmm...not the thermostat then? Wonder how much to get it re-gassed?

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 25 Sep 2010 09:09

Ginny,

The gas is probably going in your fridge!

You can (or used to be able to) get them regassed, and it'll give it extra life...

We have our fridges at work regassed at least once a year, it's helps to keep constant temperature, and keeps the cool dial lower thus saving energy!

PS.... went to the breakky table and it seems i caught the back end of Gins grabbing a second helping...there was none left for me :(

Blow......dribbled tomatoes down my front.....runs for cold cloth. Good breakfast though. Thanks very much.



Do wonder how poor LK is.....must be dreadfully upsetting to have all that going on outside the shop. Take care.


A beautiful morning but am not looking forward to the prospect of shopping .............. my daughter is all wound up about getting some winter clothes. This could lead to probs. May need a hot choc before the day is out!


Will come back here later for some stimulating and intellectual banter.....hahahaha

Ginny,

He says thats the thermostat.

It is not recognising when the fridge is cold enough, so keeps 'cooling' it down.

This can be replaced but..... depending on the fridge and the workman it could be cheaper to buy a new fridge.

you will just have to 'nurse' it along until JB gets his new job

Scrambled eggs, mushrooms and toms with toast....wipes drips from mouth and slurps tea......ta Sylv

Julcoe.....thanks for the explanation of why my fridge makes strange noises. Now, would you mind asking you clever OH...why does it sometimes think it's a freezer and FREEZE everything!

I have to turn it off every so often, which is not ideal....must buy a new one but what with facing the poor house that may have to wait ;)

Night Sylvia.

I am sure all the sleepy heads will enjoy your breakfast when they can drag themselves from bed and onto their computers.

About 20-25 years ago we went to a country general store museum near here

...... and OH was devastated when he saw a Rolls Razor (which had a built in strop) like the one his father had given him as 21st birthday present in 1959!

Now considered a museum piece!

I was busy being intrigued by the cans of foodstuffs, sweets etc, like the ones that I remembered from the Uk in the 40s and 50s


we'd already had the horror of seeing horse-hair stuffed dining chairs in a museum in the 1970s which were very similar (if not identical) to the ones his parents had thrown out in the late 1940s ................. and you should have seen the price they wanted for one of them that was on sale

oh my!!


OH well remembered sitting on the chairs when they were in his grandfather's house ........ he said there was nothing like the torment that a little boy in shorts got from the horse hairs sticking out through the leather!



night night, I'm off to bed


OH is already snoring away there

That's the 'young' of today.
If anything is more than 10 years old it's ancient!

My parents stopped going to country museums because they were full of things that mum & dad used as they were growing up !!
They didn't feel that they were THAT old.

lol!!


It was when we had to give the old fridge big thumps on the side to get it to stop making other stranger noises that we decided a new one might be in order ............. it had given us about 36 years service


The delivery men who brought the new one were also to take away the old one ..... they looked at it in wonder, and kept saying "I've never seen a fridge like that" lol!

Our fridge is of the "big sigh" variety ... and some days I know just how it feels.

I rather liked the bird chirping that the old fridge did :)))

Hi Sylvia,

Just tea & Toast for me thanks.
Late afternoonn tea for me



Just backing up a bit to Ginnys question about noisy fridges.

I asked my HID an ex-navy electrician, and my understanding of what he said was...

Fridges have a compressor which turn gas into liquid - to cool food in the fridge the liquid absorbs heat which will cause the liquid to turn back into a gas, which then goes through the compressor and is turned back into a liquid, and so the cycle continues.

This all happens in all those tubes at the back of your fridge.

As you all know the compressor is not continually running, but only as needed to keep the set temperature.

So, when the compressor stops, the gas to liquid exchange stops and they settle in the tubs and your fridge gives a big sigh, burp, rattle........or whatever you would like to call it.

Some fridges are noisier than others ... and like any other noise it seems louder at night.
