Rosenlew Fridge

[Flossy1978]

I have one of these fridges and I put hot soup into it one night awhile ago. The next morning the fridge wasn't working.

Does anyone know of a website I can look up to get someone to come and take a look at it?

Can you get someone to come take a look and quote a price of how much it will cost to fix here in Finland?

My Husband said we should just buy a new one. I don't want to do that. He said that there was a report that he read that no one gets people to fix these kinds of things anymore, they just go out and buy a new one. It's any wonder eveyone is in debt LOL. I just want someone to come and take a look and tell us how much it will cost to fix. Then a decision can be made.

Thanks!

There is very little to go wrong in a fridge. There is a motor which pumps refrigerant around the system and some basic electronics. If it's fairly new (<3-5 years), I would try to find someone to look at it before buying new.

I have the name of the local service office, but I'm in central Finland. Where are you?

Thanks

First the lights were working and it was just the compressor that stopped working. Then the man I call my Husband fiddled with it without pulling the electric cord out of the wall (after I told him to) and got himself electricuted and now the lights don't work either. An idiot, I know LOL.

I live in Helsinki.

The light problem is a blown fuse. Should be easy to replace.
The basic problem is either a broken thermocouple (electronic thermometer) or a burned out engine. If it's the engine, get a new fridge, if it's the thermocouple, replace it. You could do it yourself (if you're not an idiot )
Cost between 10 and 20 euro for a new thingy.

Ok. Thanks I'll tell my Husband. He's the idiot, a very intelligent man that does idiot things I guess LOL.

Thanks again for your help
