When you mention diffuser, are you describing a broken air deflector/director that redirects cold air from the freezer section to the refrigerator side? o_O

Is the fan working in the freezer (to divert cold air to the lower section)?

Do a complete unplug-and-let-it-sit-for -two-days drfrost . There is
probably an ice blockage in the air passage to the refr side . Might have a

I've never broken one of those. Always seems to be leaking coolant due to age, and in one case, the compressor went bang when switched on after 3 weeks of no use.

That's odd, I've never known one break that soon. Take it back to the shop. Not sure about America, but in the UK anything up to about 6 years you can take things back that are not lasting an expected amount of time.

Someone, TC has mentioned ice buildup which isn't something that the automatic defrost can handle. That's why the fridge needs to be emptied, turned off and doors propped open for a day. Have towels ready to catch the water that may wind up on the floor from melting ice. It would be a good time to clean and sanitize the interior of the fridge and a fan blowing air into the open refrigerator can help ice melt along. ^_^

Beyond six months, it's up to you to prove that the problem was there when
you received the goods even if it has taken until now to come to light.
So, you may need to prove that the fault was not down to ordinary wear and
tear or damage you caused, and that the product (or a component) should have
lasted longer than it did.

To do this you may need an expert's report, for example, from an engineer or
a mechanic.

Always try to keep the cost of any report proportionate to the value of the
claim and, if you can, try to agree on an expert you and the seller both
agree has the necessary expertise.

When a fridge or freezer breaks, I just replace it. They're not

That's odd, I've never known one break that soon. Take it back to
the shop. Not sure about America, but in the UK anything up to
about 6 years you can take things back that are not lasting an
expected amount of time.

It's not that easy. Think before you post.

Beyond six months, it's up to you to prove that the problem was
there when you received the goods even if it has taken until now to
come to light. So, you may need to prove that the fault was not
down to ordinary
wear and tear or damage you caused, and that the product (or a
component) should have lasted longer than it did.

To do this you may need an expert's report, for example, from an
engineer or a mechanic.

Always try to keep the cost of any report proportionate to the
value of the claim and, if you can, try to agree on an expert you
and the seller both agree has the necessary expertise.

With something which receives wear and tear from the user, I agree.
For example the door fell off because your kid was swinging on it.
But if the compressor motor dies after 3 years, that cannot possibly
have been due to user error. The compressor is sealed and not
touched by the operator.

We could always speculate on the doors of the fridge freezer being
left wide open and the compressor running 24/7. This happens.

That wouldn't break it. Turning the compressor on and off is
actually what wears it out.
And anyway nobody would leave the fridge open ALL the time.

I won't speculate.
But you will, as this increases the strength of your trolling in
this group. Go and reply Hucker, prove my point.

Open wide, no. Open a little but? Yes. not hard to do.

By accident, almost impossible.

Happened twice in my house when the shelf was overstuffed and gasket did
not close.



Even a 1/4" crack ca cause a lot of ice buildup.

Which would cause you to do something about it.


Yes, when you spot it the next morning.

And a failed neutral would give a compressor zero volts across it.

Oh you're in America. Do you have some weird 2 phase compressors? Over here in the UK, you need live and neutral to give 240V. Remove either and the compressor simply goes off due to zero voltage.

For what total period until you noticed it and corrected the problem?

Yes, when you spot it the next morning.

That isn't 24/7. The 7 part is missing. The compressor won't mind a night. How do you think a freezer manages when you first put it on?
