Samsung SR-S2029 FF, freezer not maintaing -22dC and warming up?
Faulty Samsung Fridge Freezer SR-S2029
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry guys I'm new to forums and am not at all technical so please do bear with me and read on and help if possible....
My "Americal Style" Samsung SR-S2029 Fridge-Freezer (now 8yrs old) doesn't keep down to -22dC all the time and warms up to -8dC, also the fridge doesn't seem to cool as well. I've had to turn off water to the Ice Making Compartment as the Ice was melting down and water was leaking from water dispensing hole!
Domestic & General Insurance Company have quoted £15/month to fix it/service it and I would need to keep their policy going for 12 months (as they will give warranty on repairs for 12 months), so total cost £180 for a fix and 12 month piece of mind, but will this recur? Or Is this just the beginning of the end with other problems looming?
The other possibly cheaper option is to call in a local engineer who charges £40 for a call out plus hourly labour charge of £18/hr and costs of parts (BUT.. he may not be able to get the parts as apparantly Samsung ONLY distribute their parts through the "recognised repairers/distributors" at a much higher cost overall.
I'm not sure if its worth getting it repaired. Can anyone suggest a cheap/er solution PLEASE, (IF THERE IS ONE!!!)?
HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL BE ABLE TO GUIDE ME AND COME UP WITH SOLUTION/S. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
