    Then get right onto freecycle and see if ou can get something. I wish you were closer, I have a spare in my garage!
    So do I. Our builders switched it off so it's gone mouldy on fridge shelves and needs a good clean and the seal has started to go but it still works. I only wish I was nearer. Def get onto freecycle about one Sarah, me and Toto can't be unusual in having freezers that we no longer need or want.

    Have put an ad on freecycle but nothing yet. Had a mad dash to tesco/asda/coop but they sell washing machines but no fridge freezers!
    We know it's not the fuse as the light is still on.... should've known it was on it's way out as it suddenly got louder last week and Ste only noticed today that stuff wasn't cold in the fridge! Nightmare! Just going to have to hope the freezer food lasts til tomorrow when we can go into town again. :(

    Don't open the door unless you absolutely need too. Hang a wet towel down the front of it. Give the compressor a wack with something (what have you got to lose?).

    What a nightmare - Leave it shut, don't even open it to check on it, that way you are keeping as much of the cold air in as possible. Tomorrow, if any of the meat has defrosted, you could cook it, then re-freeze it, so that you don't have to chuck it away.

    lol thanks guys. We've put all the fridge stuff in a cool bag and put it back in the fridge but it's warm as anything in there so everything's going to be knackered by tomorrow. Haven't opened the freezer since we realised and are just praying that the frozen stuff we put in there earlier would keep it all cool enough til tomorrow. Otherwise we're going to have to rebuy all our fridge/freezer food and it's going to cost a fortune... :(
    Will have to look at our house insurance policy to see if we'd be able to claim for all the ruined food....
