Hi all,
My mum's fridge is currently having a couple of issues. It's a Hisense HR6TFF534SD, purchased new in late 2020.
The fridge compartment's door seal has split in a few places, especially on the bottom seal strip, where it has just about split all the way across. Mum suspects this is why all her fruit and vegetables freeze solid when stored in the crisper (top-mounted freezer; crisper is at the lowest point of the whole fridge, closest to the busted seal)
None of the LED interior lights work properly anymore. Freezer light was DOA, but even I didn't notice that until more recently, because the last top-mount fridge/freezer never had one at all. The fridge light has just started flickering and strobing, which mum says is driving her absolutely crazy! Some of the plastic door shelves have cracked, which I've glued back together for her.
The fridge came with a 3 year warranty, which has expired by almost 2 years at this point. I feel like the issues are relatively minor and could be repaired; the freezer still works great apart from no light, fridge compartment is still keeping food below 5°C but would probably be a bit more stable with a new door seal. But then again, Hisense is more of a "budget" brand to begin with and would these minor issues signify something more troublesome down the track? I'd like to hear your opinions, pros and cons, etc. on this subject.
