Scandinova FF6745D…blowing hot air!

[piecan]

Hi

I’ve had my Scandinova Fridge Freezer FF6745D for 6+ years. A couple of times I’ve accidently not closed the freezer door properly (left overnight like this once). When I found it last time making a racket hot air seemed to be blowing from the top compartment and everything was defrosted. It’s been ok since but a couple of days ago I noticed it was making a lot of noise again (seems to be coming from the back top of the freezer) and last night discoved that the hot air blowing was back and that some food had defrosted a bit. The door was shut though. I’ve unplugged it today for an hour and now it seems to be working ok. Do you think I’ve permantely damaged it … or am I doing well it lasting 6 yrs? This was my first fridge freezer. All the time the top fridge part has been working fine and has remained cold. Thanks.

Leave it off for 48 hours, that will be enough time for the ice to defrost, the one hour isn’t enough to be honest, probably just enough to allow the fan to rotate.

See how that works out and let us know eh ? 😀

Scandinova FF6745D Frost Free

Hi Dave

I’ve had the fridge switched on for a day now (having had it off for two) and all seems well. The back of the freezer inside did make a lot of noise yesterday, sort of rattling, but has stopped now. I put it on number 4 setting (goes up to 7) and the temp was -20 this morning but it has now gone up to -15 even though the freezer is practically empty. Have turned the freezer dial up a bit and hope that the temperature doesn’t keep rising.

Whilst cleaning away the cat fur gathered at the back!.. I noticed that there are two round black things one says Danfross compressor 6630 NL Y6F suction connector and the other says ZEM GL35AH R134a…do you know please if this means I have a dual compressor fridge freezer? Thanks very much.

Yeah it’ll be a twin compressor very common with scandinova.
