Do you hear the fan running ? You may need to push the light switch in.

Oh yes the evaporator fan is running perfectly fine, same goes for the fan on the back. Today I took out the connection plug that connects to the compressor, its solder was white as a paper. I replaced all of the solder on that start device, has been running for 5 hours for now temps are at -15 and compressor is running when the back fan is running.
Still not assuming that the issue was fixed, only time will tell.

Also here’s a picture of the evaporator ~4 hours after the unit was turned on from being off for 2 days. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rg40i5vd6l4mw … 0.jpg?dl=0

The temperature readings I have got are not from the units sensors but from my multi meters K temperature probe. As for the temperature sensors on the fridge and the freezer I am assuming that they’re good as while it was off and the inside at room temp (for 36 hours), I did an ohms test on both sensors and they had around the same resistance which makes it seem like they’re good (unless they’re both bad which is very unlikely)r600a wrote:Hi
That channel at the bottom right of the freezer should be clear. defrost the whole of the fridge freezer and leave off for 48 hrs and leave the doors open then restart as normal.

I’ve already tried to completely defrost it, left it off for about 2 days with the doors opened, for 2 hours it worked perfectly, freezer was almost at -18 and fridge was almost at 5. Then at the 3rd hour that it was on temps got very bad with the freezer being at 2 and the fridge being at 15.As for the “channel at the bottom right of the freezer” I didn’t get what you mean by it.

I can’t think on anything else on those that would cause that.

I’ve noticed a new thing which I was not noticing with the freezer filled with food, while empty the freezers temp got up to 2 degrees celsuis. This was after 3 hours of turning it on, funny thing is 1 hour before the temp fell down to 2 it was -17 degrees celsuis which is correct.
3 hours of the unit being turned on shouldn’t be enough to block the evaporator, working defrost circuit or not so there goes my defrost theory.
Any ideas?
