ParticipantHi,
Having read the threads on here regarding a warm fridge/normal freezer I was convinced that a change of freezer thermistors would sort my problem. Yesterday I did a defrost and cleaned the fluffy bits, and ordered the thermistors.
Brilliant service – the thermistors are here and its only 10am! Unfortunately the fridge is winking at me with a sarcastic look having returned to a healthy +2 degrees overnight. Its been at a very unhealthy +22 for the last couple of days. Now what do I do…
Return the thermistors?… Hang on to them until the fridge decides to play around again?… or fit them anyway…
or maybe just give the fridge a good sound thrashing…
Thanks
Alex

Couple of questions – you say you have carried out a defrost, how did you do this? Secondly, be aware that if you have done a full defrost the fault will not re-occur untill its next time to defrost. ie It could be showing that everything is OK now but in half a day it may go doolally again.

Defrost by leaving the door open – to be honest all was pretty clear in there, I did check both vents for blockages… clear as anything. Also took off the flapper/baffle thingy – just from curiosity really. My milk is still cold as I type… what was a bit odd is that following the “defrost” the fridge stayed at +22 for a good 18 hrs, waiting until I went to bed before springing its little ruse.
Not sure what you mean by “its next time to defrost” – is this beast clever enough to defrost itself ??
I have hung the thermistors in full view of the blighter so that it knows what it’s in for if it dares to misbehave again 🙂 For now we exist in a state of mutual respect…

Fridge back to +17 this morning 🙁
Good time to fit the thermistors?
I thought so… fitted and waiting for the temps to drop…
Not a job for fat fingers!
Cheers
Alex
