Brandt Fridge Freezer Help

[mason41]

I am in desperate need of advice.

I have a Brandt Frost Free (A Class) fridge freezer. The model number is not to hand at the minute.

The freezer seems to be working fine, but for whatever reason the fridge will not get cold. I’m sure this is probably a common problem but in the lead up to christmas it is the last thing i need.

I have checked the pipe at the back of the fridge and this is not blocked. I’m guessing it is a thermostat of PCB problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

could really use a model number?

its normally the other way round, ie fridge workin, freezer not

do you know whether its air blown or wetwall?
if its airblown, a simple 48hrs defrost would probably cure the problem, if its wet wall, then it could well be a pcb/syatem problem

for more conclusive help, model number plz

Re: Brandt Fridge Freezer Help

Not sure of the difference between air blown or wet blown. The diagram in the instruction manual indicated that air was blown from the freezer up into the fridge. Not sure where this air comes into the fridge though as there are no vents etc. Unless its just a case of the walls themselves cooling?

One other thing to note is that occasionally you can hear the unit humming (usual sounds) so this just confuses the issue.

Could it just be a simple case of turning it off for a while and then back on?

I’ll have to wait until I get home from work to check out the model number.

there will be vents inside the fridge, theyre well hidden, quite often theyre behind the salad bins

if thats the case, a good 48hr defrost will help

It is in fact the Brandt CFA361XU.

Do you think I should replace the PCB?

If so, I will order one today.

Thanks.

PCB is on its way. Should get it today.

Is there a general process to installing this.

I’d rather not defrost the unit because of the frozen goods. Is there no way i can turn it off and the freezer should keep temperature for a while at least until I install the PCB.

If it has to be defrosted then I’ll have to do that.
