Hi all
My Amica fridge freezer has packed in just over the 2 year warranty date; typical. I'm also moving house very soon and will have a built in unit so don't actually need it - managed to source a battered second hand one for 50 quid to last me a few weeks.
My question is: is it worth trying to repair the Amica, to then sell it on?
Symptoms are: build up of liquid in the base of the fridge, suggested drain plug blocked but had used the tool provided... carried on with liquid building up for a few weeks and then one morning it made a loud clanking sound, like a fan was catching on something? Powered off for a moment, re-powered, and it was fine again... for a day. Then I noticed the freezer was starting to defrost. Within 24 hours both freezer and fridge no longer cooling and the fridge sounds quiet 95% of the time; occasionally it'll whir again as if it's trying to cool, but doesn't last long.
Any thoughts / suggestions welcome please.
Thanks
Ross

- TL;DR
- Fridge freezer is broken. Don't need it long term. Is it worth trying to fix, to sell?
