Need a New Fridge Freezer

Well, this is annoying. I'd been concerned that the seal was failing on my fridge freezer for a couple of weeks, although it was still working. I contacted the person who had fixed it last time, and he said that you couldn't even get the parts any longer (it's the best part of 20 years old, and I got the impression that the make no longer exists). So I'd decided to start looking around for a new one. This morning, I went to the freezer to find the seal had totally failed, defrosting everything inside. Which all needs throwing away. So I've lost all my frozen food and need to buy a new fridge freezer quickly, because otherwise I'll end up throwing away a lot of fresh food when I buy it. Either that or eat takeaways. Unfortunately, no manufacturer seems to believe that you'll need a bigger freezer compartment than a fridge, which is making it hard to find a replacement. Back when I bought this one, it was the only model in the shop with a larger freezer. The freezer is where I store the majority of my food; I don't need huge amounts of fridge space, yet it seems I have no option. Image: Morguefile

That is horrible. Did you have a lot you had to throw away? I hope by now you have one that works good.

A substantial amount of stuff, and yes, I got a new one over a year ago now. Not what I wanted, but they didn't make one that suited my needs and I needed a freezer.

@Hannihar Well, it keeps things frozen and refrigerated, which is a definite plus!

We bought a new fridge/freezer a few years ago and were very surprised at the new kind which we did not like at all.

The ones I've been looking at don't seem that much different to my old one. Except that all the manufacturers seem to think you need much more fridge space than freezer.
