[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 547499, member: 4012"] The key tests to do are with gas: When switched on with gas, can you see a blue flame in the peephole at the bottom of the inside of the fridge? If yours doesn't have this feature, can you feel warm/hot air coming from the top of the ventilation grille located outside behind the fridge? If both tests are [b]negative[/b], you have failed to ignite the pilot flame that burns continually to power the ammonia refrigerant cooling circulation system. If either or both of these tests are [b]positive[/b] but no cooling of the internal fins is noticeable after at least an hour or two, the problem must be in the ammonia refrigerant cooling circulation system itself and you will need a refrigeration mechanic to fix it. Using electricity, there are additional possible points of failure in the heating elements/s that power the same cooling circulation system. Unless you have electrical skills and test equipment, you cannot easily perform any tests. Note: These fridges take at least an hour or two to start cooling of the internal metal fins when working normally, but should chill the entire interior overnight. [/QUOTE]
