Re: Fridge/freezer help required
Has she tried turning the thermostat down to a lower number.
Is the rear panel freezing evenly at the back or is it just icing up near the top and not turning the stat off.
And the milk should be kept in the door bottle shelf as if it touches the back it will freeze.

Re: Samsung rsh1nhmh ice build up around fan in fridge
If the heater is ok, You need to move the defrost sensor to the left and fit a new rear panel.
The insulation and possibly the heater in the old panel has failed.
You can also get a modification of 2 plastic pieces that fit to the top off the cover to increase the heat on defrost.

If you have it set on the maximum 5 and the ice is even on the rear panel in the fridge it may be you have it set to high.
If you have to much ice on the rear panel it will not work at the correct temperature.
The fan only works with the door closed.
Turn it off with the door open to allow it to defrost the rear panel.
It is best to leave it off for 24 hours.
Turn it back on when it has defrosted and set it on 3.
Hopefully it should work ok after four to six hours.
If the problem returns in a few weeks you may have a sensor fault.

Defrost fault heater,sensor,or thermal fuse.

Re: BEKO Fridge LA120W
Your model has a standard thermostat and does not have a sensor.
The sensors are only fitted to the electronic controlled fridges.
It will be low on refrigerant or the compressor is faulty. ( Not pumping as it should )
The reason it would have been freezing is it would not turn the thermostat off as the rear panel in the fridge would only get cold at the top and not get cold low enough to turn off the thermostat.
It will need an engineer to check as it is not a DIY repair.
If it is low on refrigerant it will mean it has a leak and the leak will have to be found or it will slowly leak the gas and you will have the same fault again.

Re: aeg santo 75348-kg fridgefreezer
The most common problem is the defrost system on this model.
It can be the heater, or heater NTC’S or both not a cheap repair.
The first thing to try is a full defrost.
Get someone to look after your food and turn it off with the doors open for 48 hours.
Check to see if any water is in the compressor tray after and check the rubber none return valve above the compressor tray is not stuck together.
When you turn it back on it should return to normal in 4 to 6 hours.
Then keep a check on the date to see how long it is before the problem returns.
If it returns in three to four weeks it will be a fault on the defrost system and as it is 8 years old it may not pay to have it repaired due to the cost of the parts.

Maybe for car booting to offer bags with there sales.

Re: Schreiber/Hygena Built-in Fridge Thermostat Access
No you have to pull the fridge out to gain access to the thermostat.
It is in a small box on the top behind the control knob.
You do not have to pull the fridge fully out but you need to pull it forward about 6 inches

Re: Beko CDA 543 10.5 cu ft Frost Free Combi Fridge/Freezer
Hi from Bob
As it is a frost free appliance by turning it off you may have a build up of ice in the freezer as you have interrupted the normal defrost timing.You will not see the frost as it will be behind the rear panel in the freezer.
The first step would be to fully defrost it so if you can get someone to look after your food.
Turn it off at the mains for 48 hours with the doors open.
When you turn it back on leave it for 24 hours to return to normal.
If it then runs continuously without cutting out check the fan in the freezer is working ok.
If the fan is working then it will be a compressor or refrigerant fault.

Re: Schreiber/Hygena Built-in Fridge Thermostat Access
Do you know the model number.
On most Hygena / diplomat under worktop fridges you need to pull the fridge out to gain access to the thermostat if the control is at the top.

Re: Creda main oven doesn’t reach temperature
It may be the fan oven element faulty.
Set the oven on fan heating only and check to see if the stat cuts out and if any heat is produced.
If the light stays on and the stat does not cut out it will be the fan element.

Re: Samsung SRL3216B/XEU starts up then stops and not coolin
No simple fixes on a samsung the fault on your model could be a thermal fuse.
Without testing it is impossible to tell as it could be a number of things.
If you turn it off you need to leave it off for ten minutes before turning it back on, as it can seize the compressor if you turn it off then back on strait away.
This is because the back pressure in the system is too great for it to start up.
The thermal fuse is in the defrost section in the freezer near the defrost heater.
It has a red and black wire to it and it is attached to the side of the evaporator and should have continuity on the circuit.
If it is open circuit then it is faulty.
If the thermal fuse is ok then it would be beyond a DIY repair.
It could then be a defrost heater or compressor or PCB fault.
Make sure any testing of parts is done with the appliance unplugged from the mains supply.
