Re: Whirlpool Ameerican fridge freezer
when I said whirlpool engineers don’t know much about refrigeration I did not mean it as insult. whirlpool service are not interested in training you for the job. and I often turn up for a regas to find it is the stat. unfortunaly the whirlpool engineer in my area only takes 2 minutes to diagnose fault. but most are good.
In the last week I have been out to Homark, Westinghouse and Bernstein cookers and hoods, so I guess E.A.C. are still cooking.
I work for E.A.C and as far as I know we have refigeration and microwaves. we have nothing to do with laundry. they have sorted parts now especialy with the RS20 RS21. they are having a bit of a problem with compressors as I have change 4 this year which is 3 more than I have changed in the last 5 years.
Re: APM 6842 fridge freezer problem
this model is a whirlpool and they have had problems whith thermostats in the last year. some running cotinuosly and some sticking off. plus a problem with the capillary (phile) location. and as capillary does not run OUTSIDE the fridge on this model it can not detect ambient temp.
Re: Putting a Freezer in the shed
I must agree with alex as most chest freezer are double skind and designed to work in cold conditions.
Liberty. don’t ask for advice in currys as staff are trained to sell the products not to know about them. if you can read the label you will know as muck as they do.Re: Ocean APM6825 from MFI

I have an integrated fridge/freezer made by “OCEAN” with model number APM6825 (Frost-free).
switch of at mains for a minute and back on and it will come in to defrost. if compressor starts you have a pcb problem.
defrost time is 45 minutes or 10 degrees on the evap which ever comes first.
biggest fault on this model is incoplete defrost which leave ice hanging on bottom of evap, works it way down to drain and blocks it.
most faults on this appliance can be solved by changing the pcb. but check evap (wet wall) in fridge first. when appliance is off check to make sure back of the fridge is not loose, if it is this is the problem and it won’t last much longer and can not be repaired.Re: Zanussi ZX77 Fridge Freezer
this model along with with some otherfrost free hade a problem with the defrost drain valve. it is a small rubber tube like the end of a baloon which is on the exit of the drain above the compressor. it would stick shuth and not let water through and ice would then form under the evap and if left long enough wold cut air to fridge.
remove valve and clean. ice will probebly take more than 24 hrs to defrost as it is 2.5 inchs thich and 6 inchs high behing an insulated panel. I would sujest removing rear panel to aid defrosting, if you have steam cleaner or wall paper striper this would speed it up as steam melts ice fast. if the ice is in the evap only you have a timer or heater circuit problem. my bet would be the timer. good luck.Re: Whirlpool Ameerican fridge freezer
I subcontract for whirlpool and if your over the year you don’t have much chance. expert appliance care are good with american style and are auth. repare company. whirlpool engineers don’t know much about refrigeration and aways pass work on to expert who do.
Re: BEKO FRIDGE FREEZER NOT WORKING PROPERLY !
a restriction in a beko will make freezer too cold not too warm as freezer evap is first in line. fridge temp would be too cold at bottom and too warn at top. at this time of year I would agree with kwatt. min room temp for this model is 12 degrees. if it is in a cold room you would have had this problem for about two weeks. put a hot water bottle in fridge once a day wile it is cold and this should solve your problem.
Re: beko cg964 fridge freezer problem
Re: beko fridge/freezer combi.the model no is cg 964
You may be in luck with this model as it is most likely has R134a gas which tended to sufer blocages caused by low gas charge as new. this would mean oil would be dragged around the system until it reached the evap entry which is in the freezer on this model. the oil would then freeze and restrict the flow of gas. beko’s do not tend to leak so this would be your problem. the anser is to defrost freezer to a high temp using a steem cleaner or wall paper stripper. pay particular attention to start of evap run (wire like pipe 2mm that runs into evap tube 1/4 inch) when pipe is hot start appliance and keep evap hot for 2 minutes. this should clear oil away and clear restriction. if this does not work it would mean a regas. £120 to£150. don’t go cheeper than this as it won’t last. you get what you pay for.
Re: Zanussi Fridge Freezer keeps defrosting
I have never come accross a zanussi with difficult faults. only engineers who cant fix them.
Re: Zanussi Fridge Freezer keeps defrosting
p.ginnelly: The unit stopped freezing but carried on humming. Engineers suggested the compressor had failed.
model use a different type of gas? R12 R134a R600 what other type of gas would be used on domestic refrigeration. Zanussi uses same gases as all other makes, with the exception of R12 (drop in can be use) thier should be no problem. compressor is pricey though. £130 to £200 depending on size of unit. try Expert appliance care. they fix anything I hear.
Re: Zanussi Fridge Freezer keeps defrosting
HOGGY: your fridge is ok and freezer not. thermostat would not cause this simptom. problem on defrost ciruit would cause whole appliance to fail as compressor cannot rut on defrost. timer fault would cause appliance to ice up as it runs for 16 hrs and when defrost is activated heater uses nutral from timer as live to stop timer from running. thermal cut-out then brakes circuit on heater and timer runs for 5 minutes before power is restored to compresser. as timer is 16 hrs run and 5 minutes off this would be unlikely fault. 2 white wires that come from stat are most likely to be drain heater in fridge as this appliance uses hot gas pipes for keeping feezer door free of ice and condesation. this suggests that your appliance is short of gas or restricted.
