Re: freezer not freezing
You must call the service to charge the system or whatever could be.
Just tell me one thing. You tell me that you have switched the thermostat to the minimum temperature, right?
If the temperature can be reached the compressor should always working and that can open the possibility of lack of refrigerant. If some times the compressor stops it could be thermostat malfunction. What is real happened?
I'm supposing that fridge have one compressor dedicated to the freezer separated from the one that serves the refrigerated compartment.To make progress is never good enough, I want to do better and better and better

Re: freezer not freezing
hi dewisfamily. there are a number of things to test your f-f but unless you are an electrician or a fridge tec , qualified as such then it would be unwise for you to touch it or for any of our engineers to suggest you touch it. its a case of safety for YOU and others , please get a local fridge company to come out to you ,
hope you get it sorted . sedgy.

Re: freezer not freezing
hmm. If it is a problem of thermostat I think a person whom have little knowledge of electricity can replace a thermostat.
It's my opinion.To make progress is never good enough, I want to do better and better and better

Re: freezer not freezing
Even as a novice, there are certain things you can do to narrow it down. You can remove the panel(s) that hides the compressor section and thoroughly clean everything you see. Also, make sure the fan down there is working. It needs all the airflow it can get. Don't forget to reinstall the panel.
If there is a fan inside the freezer, make sure it is working.
If the freezer is empty, you can shut it off (unplug it) overnight and leave the door open to make sure it is thoroughly defrosted. If it then works, there is a defrost problem.
Let us know what you find.Last edited by Gary; 25-11-2010 at 07:06 PM.
