Fiddled with the thermostat in the fridge to get the compressor working to see if it was ok. The compressor for the freezer seemed to be working and I switched of the freezer and then switched it on back at the mains, and the compressor did not seem to switch back on. Thanks to some DIY, I can not get the freezer out of its place at the moment.
Checking the fridge again with manipulating the fridge thermostat, I got the compressor in the fridge to switch off with no apparent ill effect
I moved the contents of the freezer to the ice box of the fridge, and defrosted and cleared the freezer of ice. Then I switched it back on.
It still seems to be working along with the fridge. Not sure how long it takes a bench level freezer to get down to temperature where it's thermostat closes of for a while. That will be the next test to see if I need to get someone in to help me remove some beading from a breakfast bar where the freezer is and then load up the credit card, recently cleared to get a new freezer.

It's moments like this I still peek at the forum for.
I'd cradle you in my arms if I could, Sticks.
