[davebaron]

hi every one im having a bit of of a todo with this f/f
the customers original falt was that it was freezing up in the fridge part ,
so i fitted a new pcb ,i have fitted a few of these before and never had any problems, however this time it was still over freezing.
i have also changed the defrost sensor ,but its still over freezing, has any one got any ideas , many thanks dave

Presumably some sort of sensor failure – something very scary in your in-box,

thanks chris but i have all ready done that and it was very fiddly lol but it still keeps freeing up

I’m going to one of these on Wednesday morning, with the same fault – fridge freezing.
Any chance of a scary email too, please, Chris?
Thanks,
Pigpen.

Re: candy cpca 240 fsk f/f

i wonder if it lack of gas? i got one doing same change pcb annd sensor

Re: candy cpca 240 fsk f/f

a general rule of thumb i use on these as long as it is freezing round the whole plate so it is not short of gas then turn off by module,if it shuts down then the sensor has failed however if it continues running even if set to off then change the pcb,
this has never failed me so far 😀 .

cheers chris

Re: candy cpca 240 fsk f/f

Thanks, Chris. Excellent advice.
It still ran when pcb set to off, so I replaced the pcb.

I have a question about the PCB configuration instructions, though – maybe it’s me being a bit thick, but …

As the pcb is at the top of the fridge freezer, does this count as a “top mount”, therefore I should remove jumper 1?
or
It’s 220Lt capacity and I couldn’t see any ventilation grille inside the fridge compartment, so is it classed as a “combi unit without refrigerator’s ventilator”, so I leave both jumpers in place?

What is this “ventilator” they’re talking about? Is it the evaporator? If so, then there’s one of those inside the fridge compartment, so I should remove jumper 1.

I’ve left both jumpers intact for the moment, as I believe it only affects the operating temperature range and I can always go back to break a tab off if I need to!

Please help my poor confused brain?! 😯
Thanks,
Pigpen.

ventilator =italian (ventil) for fan 😉

Re: candy cpca 240 fsk f/f

Thanks, Cras, that’s cleared up the ventilator part of my query.
Anyone willing to offer an explanation about the “top mount” bit?

(The instructions that come with the PCB state for the third configuration option: ALL TOP MOUNT AND COMBI UNITS, FITTED WITH THE VENTILATOR INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR’S SECTION)

What’s the difference between a Top Mount and a Combi Unit, please?
