Help - fridge freezer packed in!

I haven’t budgeted for a new fridge freezer but need a replacement ASAP. Other than Curry’s and AO, where else can I look? Any deals / vouchers? 
Unfortunately it has to be integrated, so I’ll need to pay for installation too. 
Currently the cheapest appear to be £400-£500. But also want something which will last / decent reviews. Not fussed about any extras except I’d like to go ‘frost free’ again.
"Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
"Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
"True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    I got mine from John Lewis on the premise that if something went wrong, I wanted to be dealing with a reputable company.

    Got mine from a local retailer because it was an emergency.
    But also because they deliver and take the old one away included in the price.
    Remember, how will you dispose of the old one and will that cost extra, even finding another trade.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    If you are even mildly competent with a screwdriver then you can install it yourself, usually just two screws on the runners, as well as plugging it in.

    When I was looking everyone offered recycling of the old one for about £25.

    Try defrosting it overnight i.e. unplug it. . Modern fridge freezers with systems to routinely defrost can stop working if too much ice builds up for the system to manage.( By leaving the doors open)  Worth a try as it's not working any way.
