Smeg fridge freezer FA421XS not cooling
Hi, I have an approx. 10 year old Smeg. It was fine until suddenly started not getting cold enough, both the fridge and freezer. The freezer only just gets to zero degrees now. The fan seems to be OK, there is air blowing into the freezer at the top fairly fast. The compressor seems to be getting pretty hot. I contacted Smog, they said it is too old to repair. A local company also said that it would be too expensive to repair. I don't mind paying a 200 pounds or so, as it will cost over 1000 to replace. So, do I really need to through this away and buy a new one? It seems crazy that it cannot be fixed. Any help appreciated Thanks

There is copper lines by the compressor it sounds like its low on freeon the cooling chemical you can purchase a kit and weld a valve on the in line and load it up with more freeon that may work
