Re: Fridge never stops running
No, common enough way to think but sadly incorrect.
The freezer gets the cold gas first then it goes to the fridge so, if the compressor is not pumping as it should then the problem of not cooling correctly will first be seen in the fridge as, the gas is then too warm by the time it gets there and, it doesn’t chill down correctly.
What you will almost certainly find is that the freezer is cycling warm, as in, not reaching a mean temp of -18?C, it will still freeze perhaps but it won’t be freezing properly. To “freeze” it only needs to get past 0?C or so, but to safely store frozen food it needs to be a lot colder than that. Which also means that the food that you’re storing in it will not be getting kept correctly and can even prove to be unfit for consumption.

Re: Fridge never stops running
It’s not getting down to temperature so, probably a compressor issue.

Re: Fridge never stops running
Two options. One is okay (ish) the other you ain’t gonna like.
Thermostat is faulty and the contacts closed so it runs all the time.
Compressor is faulty.
Former, easy enough and not too expensive. Latter, not so much.

Could be a sensor problem but I’d try defrosting it fully first.

Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Quite.
There is no clarity on much of anything in this whole debacle, same with the fridge thing as well.
What I can tell you is that, to me, it’s trial by media.
If this was a serious murder investigation and perhaps some of those calling for corporate scalps were on the receiving end of being accused of similar crime of that magnitude the evidence would have to be a lot, lot stronger than what has been seen on this thus far.
But hey, what do I know. :rolls:

Re: Hot Point Fridge Freezer FFM70A unable to run compressor
That buzz (hum), click is the overload doing its thing which is protecting it from being a danger.
The compressor is either overheating to the point where it could be considered dangerous and the safety is doing exactly as it should to prevent risk.
Or, the compressor has had it.
