Repair guidance / CDA / BR2
The fridge is warm but the freezer seems normal
Keep the two compartment observations separate and provide any existing temperature reading. Cooling performance, airflow and controls can produce overlapping symptoms. Protect perishable food and minimise door opening while arranging an assessment of an accepted conventional model.
A different pattern: the machine runs much more than before
Record whether temperatures are also changing, whether a door is failing to close and whether the change followed a move. Longer operation is evidence, not a diagnosis. Model acceptance comes first; American-style side-by-side units and compressor changes are excluded.
A fitted appliance behind a furniture door
Describe the visible furniture panel, plinth and surrounding cupboards. A built-in appliance needs its access and connection arrangement checked before removal; do not detach cabinetry or pull the appliance forward to make the enquiry.
Identify this CDA model
Provide the complete model and serial number from a safely accessible rating label. Do not remove panels or move heavy equipment to find it.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the fridge is warm but the freezer seems normal”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the fridge is warm but the freezer seems normal”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the machine runs much more than before”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Hayes postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the machine runs much more than before” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fitted appliance behind a furniture door — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
