    Re: Hotpoint FFB187B temparature problems???

    Temperatures in any domestic refrigeration will fluctuate but as a general rule:

    Fridge should maintain +3?C – +5?C

    Freezer should maintain a mean of -18?C

    The average or mean temperature is far, far more important than the extremes as they give a far greater indication of the actual temperature the food etc inside is stored at without getting stupidly technical about it.

    The food et all that has volume and rises or drops in temperature will do so far slower than circulated air hence, mean temperature being of greater importance.

    The only way to test properly and get a comprehensive answer is to take a number of data points and average it out or get a data logger to do it for you.

    If you’re measuring the surface temp of the likes of an evaporator panel or whatever then sure, you’ll get crazy and wild fluctuations in temp but that’s not a real representation of what the items stored in it are actually at.

    So what you’re seeing there might be right, might not, no way to tell without knowing what is being tested, with what, over what period as it will cycle through a range but should maintain a mean.

    But, buying second hand appliances is not a thing I’d personally go for unless they were properly tested and refurbished as people only get rid of them for two reasons in the main, they are broken or, they are old and are being replaced. Not always of course but, generally speaking that holds true.

    Re: daewoo FRS-U201A not cooling enough

    If it’s the compressor as I expect you can’t, not without gear to regass it and the skillset obviously.

    To get that done, best part of £200 at least.

    Re: Fridgefreezer – Fridge not cooling properly. Candy CSC17

    On that one, ti’s the compressor that’s gone. I expect the entire thing will be gone to the tip soon enough as that’s not worth doing on that machine.

    Probably the compressor from what you say.

    Re: White Knight Tumble Dryer Accessory to stop steaming/mou

    Why not go back and ask the stores you are using for the parts? 😉

    Vent it properly is the answer.

    Those condenser boxes are, in my opinion, a waste of space and we don’t push them at all, hardly sell any as we know they’re a waste of space. 😉

    But then, I wonder if the other retailers would tell you that or, be able to.

    Re: Tumble Dryer using vast amounts of electricity

    There’s not a chance the dryer used that much juice, it’d need to have turned into a mammoth space heater to use that much energy.

    A heat pump one all the more so, they’re not very good IMO but they do sip electricity.

    If it used that much in such a short space of time it’d be blown to bits or melted.

    Methinks the problem lies elsewhere.

    If it’s a single cavity oven and the fan runs, the grill works then the fan element is almost certainly gone.
