I have been monitoring the chest freezer, for some time, and thought time I swapped the monitoring unit to the upright inverter drive freezer, and compare the two, not long enough yet to see average use really, but I expected to see a peak where the defrost elements have cut in, seem to...

Re-reading, I am also unsure, technically a RCBO is a RCD, with the MCB combined in it, but not sure if you're getting a MCB and RCBO mixed up? A RCBO will have a test button. I am now thinking you had nothing to do with the re-wire? However, you should have the installation certificate, which...

I check the leakage, for the whole house, but it does show all circuits together have an 8 mA leakage, so well within the 9 mA allowed for each RCD/RCBO, but to measure is the only way, and can't see why you should buy the meter. As said The major problem is the likes of frost free freezers...

Each circuit will have some back ground leakage, you can never get zero with an AC system, as always some capacitive and inductive leaking, but we can also have leakage we don't want which can add up. So as an electrician I start by measuring here showing the total leakage for my house, minus...

Hi all We had to reverse the fridge freezer doors on our BEKO Frost Free Combi Fridge Freezer CF5834AP However the final top right corner hinge doesn't seem to be the right way around please see pic. It seems to only work the top left side. We can't figure out if there is a seperate part for...

I will use the energy meter and look at the actual run times, and see how many time per day they do switch on, that is a good idea. Maybe if I can confront my wife with the cost she may consider not keeping so much food in stock, I will use an Energenie unit but one of these I have one which...

Is an out building classed as an appliance? "The load current in any part of the circuit should be unlikely to exceed for long periods the current-carrying capacity of the cable (Regulation 433.1.5 refers). This can generally be achieved by: (i) locating socket-outlets to provide reasonable...

I was rather surprised at how short the time can be, I was in the kitchen when I heard a freezer fail, lucky I had a spare in the garage used for brewing beer, so turned this on and waited ½ hour to allow it to cool, the contents then swapped between the two, the upper 6 inches to foot had...

I run two 3 kW cup boilers (kettles) on an extension lead, so both on one 13 amp fuse, around once a year the fuse will blow, but normally as used them is quick succession, but a fuse can take a fair bit of overload, but they get week when overloaded again and again, and sods law it will be when...

If the motor is running it seems unlikely the problem is the thermostat. My first thing with a new freezer is to plug it into my energy monitor so I have data to refer back to, but the motor with most fridge freezers runs for around 1/3 of the time, if it does not stop, then there is clearly a...

A quick search confirmed my memory that there is a "recall worthy" issue with a lot of these samsung american style fridge/freezers. I found this article, which may not match your issue exactly, but is representative of the known issues with this style of Samsung appliance...

I think that thin metal tube along the bottom is the heating element, when it's all thawed out see if you can carefully remove the polystyrene for a better look. It probably terminates in those two blue wires, if you have a test meter, test the resistance with it's connector disconnected, I seem...

No I didn't do that, I only left it to defrost until the ice visible on the pipework (I think that's what you mean by the heat exchanger behind the rear panel?) inside had melted and the the time it took me to clean and hoover out the back. Maybe an hour? I didn't do much because it's supposed...

Yes my house shows around 26 mA total, but that is shared between 14 RCBO's so no problem. However of the two clamp on meters shown, the yellow one only shows down to 10 mA increments so really not suitable for finding earth leakage, the red one do measure down to 1 mA increments, and is OK with...

Other than the fridge sensor it's never been touched and there are no controls for the freezer, i dont believe it is possible to adjust the freezer temperature. I bought it as a frost free one but still food should not be soft to the touch inside it frost free or not.

Is it a Frost Free Freezer?

Hi I have a Hotpoint free standing frost free fridge freezer. The fridge compartment gets too cold freezing all food. I called a local repairer, from photos he said not repairable as he mentioned something to do with internal insulation of the fridge which didn't make sense to me. Is this...

I don't defrost it that often. But after it completely stopped freezing the first time, we defrosted and dried it out fully. Six weeks later it failed again. (It's not a frost free freezer.) I have ordered a cheap thermostat to see if will keep going more than 6 weeks! I was quite happy...

How often do you defrost it? Is it a "frost-free" freezer?

I found my old fridge freezer did need defrosting every so often even when frost free, it takes quite a time as the ice builds up behind the cover at back of freezer, I would prop open door and set a fan blowing into the compartment, no need for heat, just a fan to move the air.
