integrated fridge freezer?

My integrated AEG Fridge Freezer has stopped working, at first the fridge top half seem to just stop going cold and the freezer lost temperature but kept going for another 24 hours as cool as a fridge and the freezer now this has stopped working and the fan stopped running.

1. Is it worth me calling out an engineer to see if they can fix it this will incurr charges for call out and estimates, or should i cut my losses and go purchase another one.

I doubt that the customer can touch the compressor ck as they have stated it is built in, I would suggest that you should not be offering advise as it appears from most of your HELPS are way of the mark.
This problem sounds like a simple stat failure.

if you can hear the compressor running and if it feels warm to the touch it could well be an expensive repair.minimum repairs will be about £80 upwards and if its a major repair look at £200 +.this is only a guide but be prepared to get involved with expensive repairs if you call someone out and follow through with a repair.lots of general repairers can't repair them even if they wanted to because they have not got the correct kit but will tell you its a system fault,too expensive and take a callout fee.one thing is for sure if the fan has packed up it would cause the problem you have described.its make your mind up time!!!
