electrolux fridge aint workin
Ive got a 3 way electrolux fridge that is not working. On gas the flame ignites but the fridge does not get cold and on the 240 the rellevent lights come on but again the fridge dont work. Any ideas ? Does anyone know anyone who can repair these fridges in the Stafford Midlands area ?

If it had a bump and then didn't work on either electric or gas then something has gone wrong with the refridgerant most likely.
Take the fridge out and have a look see. If there is no obvious damage, particularly check that the heating bits are still under the bit they should be heating and the pipework is not twisted or broken you may find the tried and tested trick of turning it upside down and leaving it a bit will work. If this fails then the refridgerant may have leaked out, a refridgeration engineer may be able to fix this or it may need a new one.

fridge fixer
see www.dometic.co.uk for elkectrolux spres also try lowdham caravan in notts they fix fridges but be honest sound s like coolant may need recharge as electrics seem to work if it lights on gas etc then refrigerantion mixture in pipework needs refilling and the leak fixing shake fridge should hear liquid in system if not thats your problem what type is it
No Madz Dubz . The Dark Side !
The vans a 1990 autosleeper trident. To be honest the fridge never got cold on 240 only on gas , after inspecting the inside of the fridge i can see a small crack in the plastic casing about 4 cm. Sounds like the fridge needs to come out. Is it difficult to take it out ? Does anyone know of repairer in Stafford area ?
