Hi all,
when we bought our house in 2002 it had a recently (1 yr old) Baumatic built under freezer in a fitted kitched.
I noticed a couple of weeks ago the motor was running nearly 24/7. Since the freezer was quite happily freezing, I wondered if a fluff build up on the fins was a problem. I took the freezer out, gave it a jolly good hoover, defrosted it and put it back.
It is still running 24/7 on setting "2" (of 4). It is still freezing fine.
Anyone any ideas on whether it's possible to fix this, as I am sure the motor is *not* meant to run 24/7.
One thing which may or may not be significant, but when I was defrosting it, I discovered, in the top left back of the inside a small wire/pipe, which was clipped into a plastic holder. This was simply flapping about loose, however, looking at the holder, it appears it should be clipped to something about 8mm in diameter, since it has two clips on it (one broken). I tried in vain to (gently) move this around, but could not find a suitable place to clip it.
Is it easy to get freezers repaired, or are we looking at a new one ?
Are built-under appliances built to a standard size so I could replace this once easily ?
regards
