Title: 2 weeks late. 'Kin fridge.
Post by: GROWLER on January 06, 2009, 03:00:58 PM
Packed in it seems. Nowt happening, totally silent and the light's gone out. confused:
 How can it pack in when the kitchen is as cold as it is outside ey, and shouldn't this have happened on 24th December?

Any ideas what may be up with it before I have to bin it for yet ANOTHER new one? (3 in 9 years. cussing: )

If it really is as cold as it is outside it's standing there thinking What's the Point?  Shrugs:

The light in mine has a will of it's own ... I think it's declared Independence  rubschin:

Going to check that yes, but that alone will be a mammoth task as the plug is buried under 368 tons of useless and mainly unused kitcheny type utensilsily type things in the cupboard. ::)

I bought Bosch this time, cus I thought it would be a bit longer lasting and reliable.
Broke down last time within a fortnight of purchase, heap of electrical shite. cussing:

It may have a "super" button that freezes flat out, bypassing the thermostat which may be the fault.

It will at least stop it defrosting while you get another one.

You will hear the motor running all the time.

Don't really understand that D, but I've arranged for a 'fridge expert technician' to visit G Towers in the morning anyway. £20 call out fee regardless of fixability.

Can't see any buttons anywhere tbh.

Just fiddled with the bulb, and it sparked back into life! eeek:

Still can't hear owt from the motor though, so I've turned the whole thing off at the plug for now to let it warm up inside a bit, and then I'll switch back on after, and it might werk again p'raps?

I hate all this electrical shite.

All the freezers we've ever had, have a switch or button marked 'Super' or 'fast freeze' and that just turns the compressor on all the time, so it cools af far and as fast as it is able to and disregards the temperature setting/thermostat.

Agreed DS ~ I have never seen a fridge or a freezer or a combination fridge/freezer that did not have some sort of switch that allows you to run it at full pelt. Many of these "switches" are little inset buttons with a slot in the top and some numbers round the edge. Insert the edge of a penny and twist to the highest number.

Can only assume that it was the temperature in the kitchen, coupled with the fact that the internal light had a dodgy connection, that mistakenly led me to believe that it was kerkanckered. ::)

I mistakenly thought that the thermostat was only checking and operating accordinly the internal temperature of the 'fridge.
