We have bought a second hand caravan and the fridge freezer is not working (we cannot even manage to pull it out) does anyone have any suggestions could it be that it has been left standing for a long time it seems to be in good condition

hI
need a bit more info before can really help
first turn thermo to max ,make sure fridge is LEVEL see 4
1-is any heating occuring @ the hot air vent or at the back ,if no heating it can not work need to find out why
2-if not try it on differant heat source 240 v /gas
3-is there any ammonia smell inside or at rear?, if yes you have a fridge system leak , needs repair
4-fridge MUST BE LEVEL,use a small round level or saucer of water in freezer compartment,side to side level is very importent.
-5-if fridge has been operated out of level it could have a system blockage ,1st step is turn it off ,level it,leave cool right down[over night] then try again.
6-If step5 does not help & all other points are ok it probably needs to come out then try tipping upside down & leave that way for a day or so ,sometimes this is necessary to remove system blockage

hi jean,these fridge freezer's work off heat & they take several hour's before you can even detect anything being cool
