My high-tech, all-electronic fridge-freezer has gone kaput after less
than 2 years.

Can anyone recommend a repair route that won't cost more than a new
appliance?

Get the retailer to repair it. Such an item should last longer than 2
years and should be covered under the original terms of sale.

I eventually got through to Comet (where I bought it) and was told original
warranty was for 12 months. They are sending a man on Thursday, cost is
£60 plus parts.

That was the manufacturers' warranty. There is a minimum retailers'
responsibility. Get in touch with your trading standards or Citizens' Advice
and ask about the current EC regulations.
