Re: Warm Whirlpool Side by Side
Did this coincide with the warmer weather?what warmer weather ❓
Perhaps TLC will help for starters
Remove lower cover and vents front and back and vacuum all dust and fluff from condensers(it’s a black radiator looking thingy) etc.
UNPLUG FIRSTRe: APM6855 fridge temp – again!
Take out the food and look for screws holding the plastic back liner,possibly 6 or 8 usually.
It will then pull forward,if there is frost around you may have to use a hairdryer to warm up and free the back,there may be also a 2″ thick piece of insulation behind the back.You should then see the evaporator assembly and it’s compnents.
Switch off and unplug first.Re: APM6855 fridge temp – again!
Pointless buying spares before you ascertain whats faulty.
Could be,defrost heater which needs a meter to check.
Easy to go in from the front of the freezer as all is behind false back in freezer,thermistors and thermal cut outs are in there too.
SWITCH OFF AND UNPLUG FIRST !!Re: hotpoint larder fridrge
Dangerous when folks think that there would be a mere puff if it leaked.Depends where it is the smaller enclosed space it’s in would increase the chances of a bigger bang,600/600a is a purified substance so the calorific value is higher than normal lpg .
Out of interesst I got myself a bunsen burner recently and connected it up to a scrap fridge in the workshop to see how long it would burn for,lovely clean blue flame, not long enough to boil a kettle but enough to make you realise why there are problems! certainly gives you food for thought,especially when the commercial fridges in catering etc are allowed a bigger charge than the domestic ones.
The industry does need to tighten up and standardise working methods.
That’s likely to be where a compulsory qualification comes in,does F gas qualification cover this?Re: hotpoint larder fridrge
Saw this thread and out of interest emailed Supco & Watsco asking them if their bullet valves are suitable for permanent connection to r600/r600a as it doesn’t mention HC’s on the adverts etc,wasn’t sure if the valve fitting was likely to create a weak point,would loc rings be more susceptible,possibly.
When you read the spec on manufactures site they claim they increase the strength of the pipe when fitted as the valve is clamped on,fairly obvious but perhaps a saliant point.
Also say they ae suitable for 410a on the high pressure side as well as the low so that would be a fair test.
Supco have already replied saying “yes theirs are suitable for permanent connection” to r600 systems.
Would have thought that a disclaimer on the fitting instructions for the valve would be necessary if they do represent a danger.
It’s difficult to find precise working instructions for r600 in general although ACRIB have an extensive list on the web and interesting room size limitations but don’t mention bullet valves.
Manufacture’s ogf r600 haven’t helped this trade by failing to supply safe working practice sheets,perhaps they are not sure which is the right way too. 🙂Re: Gorenje BD 8860E Electric Cooker fault
What is the wattage of the element? 2500watts would be approx 21ohms 2000 watts around 26-27ohms ,it’s printed on the bracket.

BGRe: Whirlpool ADG722WH program issues.
Cables and connectors plus mains filter, worth a check,sounds like a failing under heater load maybe.
Re: Chest Freezer in Out House
A freezer will work ok as long as it is just a freezer.however condensation is likely to form on cabinet and it may start rusting in a short while 18 months or so,they are designed for average room temp noy shed temps which will be mch lower.
BGRe: Hotpoint Iced Diamond RL63P fridge door problem
Take everything out ,even empty the door to establish that something isn’t trapping or fouling the door,shelves etc.
If still a prob adjust the door by the adjustable feet to get it to sit as level as poss,if still no joy the door hinge at the bottom may have shifted SWITCH OFF and pull fprward,tilt back to allow you to release the screws at the bottonm and move the hinge over to compensate the door drop.
Sometimes an extra washer on the hinge spigot helps too.
BGRe: Hotpoint EW81 cooker grill regulator.
Had the same with a creda 48357 which is same set up,think it was a load and neutral reversed.
Wiring diagram required,I have the one above if it’s any help.

OOps looks like I misled you on this one,I pictured it as a cold air blown up from the freeezer type but it obviously has an evaporator in the fridge.
