    Anyone know anything about Fridges?

    Hi all, I’ve got a Westinghouse WRI24U fridge freezer with frost free mechanism that isn’t working. Anyone know if it’s worth getting someone out to fix it? Trying to use it for a beer fridge but can’t get it any lower than 16c. Appreciate any advice.

I want...
