Fridge repair

[ajdowson]

Hi can anyone recommend anywhere in the UK than can repair an original Electrolux 1140 fridge from a 1991 T4 westfalia?

I'm happy to remove it and ship it in UK if that helps.

Cheers

Haven’t had the need to use them myself yet but I believe @sidepod has used penguinfrigo.co.uk.

Confirm. I've used them a couple of times. They know these units. Easiest to take it out and ship it.
Be aware, fridge comes out from below, no need to remove the lid.

Many thanks - I'll see if I can get it removed and down to them.

What's wrong with the fridge? Does it run but not cool or not run at all?

Connecting/"shorting" the temp sensor connector "T" and "C" on the pump circuit used to make the compressor start up and it would cool down (which ended up as a workaround for the last year or so and delayed me fixing it properly as effectively it worked in a way that was fine for our short trips), but this no longer does anything. Instead the controller makes a faint noise for 3-4 secs when connecting connectors T & C then nothing. The fuse inside the controller is intact and the fridge has power. On the Westfalia control panel when turning on the fridge the snowflake symbol flashes to indicate a fridge problem (which it has done since it first had a problem).

Did the recommend company manage to refurbish your fridge in the end? If so do you mind posting what was done and the costs & time frames involved?
