Fast forward 11 months and I notice the 'seal' on the fridge door has a split in it. Looked at the warantee and thought it would probably be classed as wear and tear and would not be covered. Gave them a…

Odd one this. I purchased ink from Tesco Extra online when they were doing the offer on 3 for 2 but with lots of points as well.
