Fridge/Freezer defrosted no doesn't work! Help, advice and problem solutions on all aspects of home appliances from washing machines to TV's

[andy.allen]

I defrosted the fridge freezer this morning with a combination of some gentle warm air, warm water and time.

All done and cleaned out I switched it back on but didn't hear the compressor kick in... The light in the fridge works so I'm presuming that something with the compressor/gas is not working.

Any quick thoughts to look at before buying a new one (it is 10 years old..)
