manarak Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Usually cheaper to just buy a new one for around 6000 baht. I prefer those with 2 doors, so I have less troubel with icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmyself Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 this has 2 doors 1 top for freezer ,1 bottom for fridge, replacement cost about 15,000 for similar model So how does... the freezer compartment keeps icing up behind the compartment and stops the cool air from cooling the fridge below happen?

Or do you have a wet/ moist compartment, somewhere at the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 There is a guy just outside Nathon that has fixed eveything I have given him. Coming from Nathon towards Lamai you hit the traffic lights for Nikki beach / Raja ferry. continue ahead and he is next to the 7/11 on the right. he sorted the washing machine out and was reasonable. He mainly does washers and fridges. I'm sure he will come take a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, it will freeze over, again. And again, and again, ....! Do you store open liquids in there, and warm/hot stuff? What I wanna say: You may have to much humidity in that fridge, 'only'. You have to find out, if that comes from opening the dam'n thing to many times, let it open to long, till the 1.25l Coke bottle is emptied to the half, or to much open liquid things in there. It's a area with 80% humidity, in average, and at ~30 degrees. Or: the rubber isn't sealing 100%. Even with auto defrost, you need to defrost by switch, every now and then. But not after 3 days. Before I would repair further, I would check it a bit. Also, 'pulling the plug' (pushing the button) over night, every (sec.) night regulary, can solve the problem. In case, all the water finds the way out Btw, a coffee mug in there, filled with water, it wouldn't need too long, till it's empty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
