Hello folks. I’m hoping that someone might be able to help me out.
Our ARC 7593/IS fridge/freezer initially kept intermittently failing to cool which was fixed by turning off then back on at the thermostat each time this happened (hence ‘reboot’).
Since then the cooling of the freezer is not sufficient to freeze items and the fridge does not seem to cool at all.
Any ideas please…?
Re: Whirlpool FF Requires Constant ‘Reboot’
The defrost system has a fault .
You will need an engineer to test the defrost system.
The defrost heater is not warming the unit to restart the appliance.
That is why you have to turn it off to restart it.
Most likely a heater or NTC fault.
It is not cooling as it will be iced up.Bob
Re: Whirlpool FF Requires Constant ‘Reboot’
Thank you Bob. Sounds very feasible. I left a message (phone & e-mail) with a local engineer, after searching on this site. Unfortunately he’s not got back to me. I don’t really want to approach Whirlpool as this is likely to cost me more than I can afford (as a new Dad!). As a mechanical engineer and knowing a few electrical/electronics engineers, I believe that I could tackle the job myself. Where could I get a layout drawing and a wiring diagram from? I’ve searched hard on Google with no success. Thanks again.
Re: Whirlpool FF Requires Constant ‘Reboot’
A wiring diagram will not help as you need to test the parts separately .
All the parts heater etc are all plug in parts.
Whirlpool parts are not cheep e.g. Heaters £80 to £90 plus. Vat.
So it is best to get an Engineer to test it.
Also you need to go carefully in case you damage the evaporator or your fingers when changing heaters.
