Faulty Freezer from HI FI CORP

I bought a Defy 210L Freezer from Hi Fi Corp in Newcastle. The instructions said to let is stand for 24 hours before use. I did so. I plugged it in and waited. Two days later it was still not working. When I phoned HI Fi Corp they said that I could not return it as I had had it longer than 24 hours and that they would send a repairman. This is in contravention of the Consumer Protection Act as the goods are faulty. I would like the item replace or my money back.
