Fridge Freezers with similar problems

[pauly]

I have two fridge-freezers, both Candy, both with similar problems. The freezer will freeze to around -30, but the fridge stays at room temp. I’m assuming that this is due to gas loss, but any advice would be welcome.

Model No’s and serial no’s please

Re: Fridge Freezers with similar problems

OK, scrapped the Candys, but now have the same problem with an Indesit, model# RG2190, ser# 209202141. I thought it might be a generic fault with fridge freezers, so apologies for no serial #s.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated,

Hi Pauly,

No it’s not a generic failure and could be attributed to several reasons dependent upon the system employed (i.e. forced air or falling air) and how or component failure which would typically be thermostat/thermistor, PCB, compressor. There’s also the posibility of, on a forced air unit, of a fan failure, either blocked or mechanical/electrical failure. Then there’s changeover valves, a favourite.

Sorry, it’s too open a question to narrow the field for you with regard to a generic failure.

I’m not familiar with the Indesit model, but knowing Indesit it’s doubtless a lower end product, so I’d be looking for a stat, changeover valve or possible PBB/thermistor problem if it’s electronic.

Hope that helps.

K.
