You still have some recourse actually.
Ebay or no if you buy something (esp white goods) you don't really need a warranty - there is a vaguely-defined legal 'reasonable' period during which you can expect something to work and can get a refund if it doesn't. By precedent this is generally regarded as at least 3 years. If the fridge was listed as 'new' you should be OK.

You choose.

Denial!
First sign of gayness I heard.

Other than blowing men.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:46, Reply)

Blowing men doesn't make you gay
does it?
( Peej, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:51, Reply)

NOW they tell me!
My brother's mate who did time in Strangeways once told me 'you're not gay unless you say yes'.

Nice

I thought you were turning Jamaican but now fear you are Al in disguise.

the evidence doesn't lie

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 17:02, Reply)

Nah it was listed as graded
and wasn't buy it now or anything like that so basically we have been told to fuck right off.

Unlucky mon
Looks like Tugnut's got the best plan, then.

Not wanting to sound like an extremist...
...but have you tried having it fixed?
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:22, Reply)

Do you know how hard it is to find an engineer in Cornwall that will even look at an American style fridge?

( Peej, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:24, Reply)

Harder than finding someone without six fingers?

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:25, Reply)

I met a guy today with a small arm with all four fingers but no thumb
and the only word I could think of was Beadle.
( Peej, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:27, Reply)

And...
...I bet he knew fuck-all about fridge repairs.

You should have given him a dead-arm on his good one.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 16:33, Reply)

You're right.
I asked on the staff email if anyone new anything about killing your wife fixing fridges and got a reply offering to sell me a bed.

Cornish people eh!

I bought the bed as we're kitting out the spare room and it was only 20 quid and is one of those awesome day beds with the slide out second bed underneath.
