I was pretty sure air came from the freezer- at least thats what i've read! There usually isn't 2 evaps unless its really big. Usually 1 big evap for both compartments. What is a double skin, by the way? Does it control airflow to the fridge section. I do know air comes to the fridge from the...

watch this: :)

Take a deep breath, calm down. Frost free systems can ice up, and when this happens, it thaws out. Give it a really good defrosting, then, leave the fridge door OPEN on its coldest for around 3-4 hours. That should do it. Cheap f/fs tend to frost up sometimes, as do all frost free systems. Our...

Some frost free fridge/freezers have 2 stats, if it does, then the fridge won't need to start the motor to cool off, it only has to start its fan to draw air from the freezer to cool down. I think you have a single stat that is drawing air from the freezer, but the stat is set too cold. IF you...

Frost free uses 1 set of cooling coils- when there is 1 Thermostat, the coils are located in the freezer. When the fridge gets warm, The fan and motor start to help the freezer stay cold, as it cannot control the freezer temperature. The fridge's fan also runs. When its cold enough, the fans may...

Its cold in your garage! you have 1 thermostat which is in the fridge, if the fridge is cold enough, the freezer should 'technically' be. It is so cold in your garage that the cold penetrated the walls and the fridge is cold enough. Next time, buy a fridge/freezer with 2 thermostats, this will...

Put all your food in cooler bags, esky's (insulated boxes) with a lot of ice and then thoroughly defrost the fridge. If you know where the stat probe is, find any ice that might be inhibiting it and scrape it away (or pour hot/boiling water onto it) Remember the strip channel up back! This may...

Our Heller PPRH50 fridge only comes on when all the ice has melted away, your fridge is probably the same. What might be a good idea is to get a thermostat you can plug into power points and control the fridges temperature with that, google Chest Fridges and some of the results will have links...

If you can replace the door seals. It sounds like a cheaper model frost free fridge freezer. Get a refrigerator repairer out to see if there is a leak in the system. If you can, use another refrigerator for the things you use most- Milk, Cheese, Butter etc. If you can't, make sure you know...

You may have a Cyclic (manual defrost) refrigerator/freezer. OR it may be a frost free freezer, but a manual defrost refrigerator, which keeps food fresh for longer. If its a moist cold with a frost free freezer, the fridge compartment should to some extent keep itself frost free, the large...

Is your refrigerator a Cyclic or a Frost Free. You should always buy a fridge/freezer with two thermostats so that you won't encounter a defrosted freezer. Cyclics can't have two thermostats as there is no fan to help control the temperature. Hope this helps, as every little bit helps :)

You won't see two compressors unless its a really big fridge/freezer. I know someone with an older Westinghouse Fridge/Freezer (mid 90's) with separate controls, it has one compressor. When the fridge gets hot enough, the motor doesn't come on, the fan turns on a blows the freezer air into the...
