Hi all,
our Ariston FF stopped working suddenly (bought 2nd hand 3 years ago).
Sounds like something inside the compressor has broken as it's a lot
noisier than it used to be but zero cooling.
I assume there's little point in repairing it.
It depends. Its not too hard to swap over a compressor from an old
machine. Some machines of that age use fuel gas refrigerant, which
costs peanuts and is workable with.
Brazing equipment, brazing rod,
yup
recharging equipment, recharging valve, the
well...
Well indeed ..
correct refrigerant
£1 from the hardware store if its butane/propane, or if an old R12
machine that you can recharge with that (often you can)
It will not be butane or propane. I have never seen this in a domestic
fridge freezer in the UK.
It is in use now, I've seen it.
It is highly flammable.
This stuff gets hot in the condensing coils, it gets hot in the compressor.
