Advice on frideg/washing machine

[glo]

Hi all,
I would like some advice on two topics please.

Firstly i would like to know if it is safe to keep a fridge in a small bedroom as i have been informed that gas escapes from it and therefore it is a health risk to keep it in a small room.Please advise me.
Secondly, my washing machine has stopped spinning and the drier on it does not work and so was wondering if i should bother asking someone to come and fix it (cost?)or should i just buy another one.
Thank you

In both cases what age are the white goods?
I would say the fridge will be fine in a small bedroom, If they were a health risk they would not be allowed in homes at all. They do loose gas especialy the old ones but they will not kill you (not legaly binding )
The washing machine- I have never liked washer driers but if its older than 4 years I would ditch it if its younger its maybe worth fixing, get a price for a call out and price a new one on-line. a great place is www.pricerunner.co.uk
