Hi all,
Our Baumatic BR26A fridge-freezer seems to be running wamer than normal -- 8c degrees in the fridge as opposed to the 5c I'd expect. As well, the compressor seems to be kicking in much less often than before (I suppose I could be imagining this but I'm pretty tuned in to household sounds/patterns). Indeed, it was the total silence (and softer butter!) that first made me worry.
The thermostat in the fridge hasn't moved and it's not been set to fast-freeze mode or anything like that. I defrosted last night and it's working but still, it doesn't seem as cold as I'd expect. If I turn the thermostat to a colder setting the compressor won't instantly kick in (which I think it used to)... however, if I switch the fridge off and then on, the compressor kicks in right away. Suggestive of some kind of fail-safe? Or blockage?
Any ideas?
Harry.
