Title: Wine cooler help
Post by: nilly71 on October 18, 2008, 20:16:17

I recently bought a secondhand wine cooler, it was switched on and cold when i collected it, left it for about 3 days standing in the kitchen (as i could not be bothered to move the cupboards about, to fit it in).
When i got around to installing it, it did not get cold. The motor was running as it could be heard. I phoned the technical helpline and they said is sounds like a pipe has been fractured and the gas escaped, and nothing could be done.

Is there anyway around this?

Thanks. :)
I thought there might be an answer like 'cover all the pipes in duck tape' ;D
