JaxandTim Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 *Sorry if this is in the wrong section* I have a whirlpool fridge/freezer which is 16 months old. Unfortunately due to its height we had to lay it down during a recent house move... It now needs re-gassing is there anyone on Shetland who can/will do this for me? Many thanks for any help you can give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girzie Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Try Appliance Rescue, Sean Fillingham. He's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest posiedon Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 You could try asking Lawrence Thompson at Voe bakery, I know he gets his industrial freezers re-gassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m.stewart@45 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 When a refrigerator is laid on its side the oil from the compressor can run into the gas piping.Unless the appliance is kept upright overnight to give the oil a chance to return then its possible the pipework will become blocked.If it was leaking gas you would have heard it coming out or found a broken pipe/oily mess after or during transit.Does that make any sense to you?

JaxandTim Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 It makes perfect sense It was lying down for 48 hours, we left it to stand for at least 36 hours until we plugged it in. I then noticed the freezer wasn't working properly, it seemed to be work its way up drawer by drawer, fridge was fine then last week the fridge decided to start doing the same. I'm only presuming it needs re-gassing thanks to a bit of cyber serving. I'll go and have a look to see if I can see any blockages as we've only had waste water come out of it. Wow, I hope this makes sense? Thanks for your help/info gooby and posiedon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
