everyone for your replies.
I checked my insurance policy, but as the freezer was some years old it wasn't covered. the contents were, but there is a large excess on the policy that made it unviable to claim.
anyway, I called a local trusted trader who I have known for many years, he has a little shop nearby supplying electrical appliances , and he repairs them himself.
he had in stock a fridge freezer that was just the size, I wanted.
within 2 hours I had a replacement delivered free of charge and fitted. no loss of freezer contents as they hadn't defrosted.
i checked prices on line of the freezer afterwards from various big multi suppliers.....
guess what
it only cost me 20.00 more than buying it from any of them, and i got it quicker.
i always try to support my local traders.
