    Are you renting? If you are your landlord is not providing basic requirements as outlined by law as you've no fridge? That's where you need to deal with it?

    if the CWO cannot see a broken fridge, then how does he/she know you didnt sell a perfectly good fridge, pocket the readies, and then present yourself in front of her looking for a new one???

    Are you renting or a home owner?

    If you are renting this is for the landlord to sort out

    I don't see what the problem is. You can pick up a decent fridge for 50-60 quid if you look around. Bit of a waste getting an engineer all the way out to your house.

    That was a rubbish joke!

    Misleading thread title :(

    But seriously, you would be better approaching from the angle of, "I don't have a fridge and am not renting..."
