However this guy is, he could teach most presenters on how to do their job! Nicely paced, good diction, pleasant manner and KNOWS HIS STUFF!
Well done Espares. Nice job. (and my fringe no longer leaks!)

I am really impressed with eSpares 'fix it videos'. eSpares, and companies like it helps us to value our domestic appliances with a little thought and hands-on straight forward repairing that doesn't cause us wastefully (and environmentally unfriendly) to chuck out our fridge, washing machine, etc. when something, easily repairable, has gone wrong with the item. I have an old 1970s washing machine still operating to my satisfaction that I nearly threw out until I found eSpares was able to supply a replacement compatible drive belt that was required.

OMG that was a brilliant video. I just watched it because he had a clear, concise and lovely tone to his voice. Everything was very easy to follow and there was no geek speak for just savy electrical people this was for everybody without an electical background - dummy guide just what the majority of consumers ordered (or would like to order). I wish all videos were like this. It was worth watching even if one didn't need it. Nice young man. I don't know about those that didn't like it but something must be wrong with them as what is there not to like about this video!!!! Thank you young man and well done on a perfect guide to a blocked fridge and that it could be one of 4 reasons. Our De Deitrich American Freezer keeps on leaking and it definitely looks like it could be one of those reasons.

Thank you for this video. It helped me fix my water leakage and learn a few other things. Cause of this video, i knew where to look and fix. Best part, i did it on my own!

[grumpybumps]

Thank you for this video.. My fridge has been being very temperamental for some time now & my first thoughts were to give it a good clean throughout especially the seals as the door sometimes decided to open of its own accord & I unblocked the drain at the back. I have, however, recleaned the seals & adjusted the legs at the front since that never occured to me & so far so good!!  Will keep an eye on the inside temperature now as I don't want things freezing in the fridge bearing in mind i'd cranked the thermostat up to try to compensate for the gain in temperature inside!!  I decided to google the problem before going out & buying a new fridge & i'm so glad I did, much appreciated!!! :)  (Englishman living in France!)

I don't need to buy a new fridge now I can get it fixed myself thank you so much!! I can wait another year or two!!

[angelroseheart]

Yes your right!!! switching it on leaves the light on dim when door is closed and when it is off it goes off completely. So I have turned it off

[Solebellachic]

Thanks Rory for such a quick and efficient explanation! Hopefully I can fix my fridge now and stop the leak. =)
