Re: Bypasiing the fan?? Pro’s & Con’s
Today I finally got an enginneer to look at the fridge
After about 10 minutes checking various things within the wiring plug,
He reported that the fan was not working, and the fridge was not cooling properely. The fan was not at fault but the electronic circuit board sending power to it was,
To fix it properely,
A new board was needed but he could bypass the board and get the fan to run.Therefore what are the pro’s and con’s of having the fan by passed? if any.
Was he correct saying my board at fault ?
I have not had any repairs done yet?Re: Fridge Now Not Cooling
Hi
I have switched the fridge on been running now 48 hrs.
The temp of the freezer was 18 c, it gradualy dropped to -2 after about 12 hrs.The problem i’m getting is that the top of the fridge is still warm and the bottom does not cool more than -2.
The fridge then auto defrosts and the temp rises to 6c and it gratually drops to -2 after a few hrs.
I opened the false panel in the freezer section there are two tube like thermistors one with a red band and one with a yellow band these exit through a hole in the back of the fridge and disappear.
So i dont Know How to Check These?I have not seen the fan cut in yet but then i’ve been told this wouldn’t cut in till the temp reaches -6c is this correct.
So what is wrong with my fridge ??
Re: Fridge Freezer stopped working
Thank you for your prompt replies KWatts ans Spimps,
I will switch the fridge on later, and leave it on for 24 hrs, and see if it works.
If it doesn’t work i’ll decide on whether its worth repairing or getting a new fridge.
thankyou.Re: Fridge Freezer stopped working
Hi Again
If the fridge does not work when i switch it back on as it is still off.
Had it off now for approx 48 hrs now, is there anything a engineer can do ? As sum one suggested i have it vacuum syphoned and new gas replaced.
Can this be done?
