    Replacing fused spur with socket?

    The spur is on the ring, the cable to the fridge socket is the same as the other 2 (thick flat gray stuff) and the fridge socket is the only one on the spur. the whole house was rewired 2 years back so it all should be up to code. also the fridge/freezer is frost free and has a off switch. thanks

    New Fridge / Freezer not cold enough

    About a week ago I got a new Samsung tall Fridge frost free freezer it has digital inverter pump. The problem is the freezer does not feel as cold as the inbuilt temp reader displays which is -23, food feels a bit frozen, ice cream soft. I put freezer thermometer in it and it went to -10 after...

    Electrics in kitchen cut out if I use more than 3 appliances

    OK the RCCB for the kitchen is tripping OFF and the trip is dependant on how much load there is ( how many appliances ). That is 99% certain to be a Neutral to Earth fault on the kitchen circuit if those are the only sockets that lose power. Check the fridge and / or freezer. if they are frost...

    Fused Spur education

    To have a FCU where one has a plug is clearly not required. However I can see why with some items you would want to remove the chance that some one has unplugged it, the boiler is a good example. Also a fuse produces heat so a plug needs to be in free air to cool. So an oven without a cooling...

    Is it OK to plug a washing machine into an extension lead?

    I have not looked into how washing machines get their efficiency rating. I have however looked at fridges and freezers and it is to be frank daft. For example if the manufacturer says the fridge/freezer is designed for climate class T it can use more power and get same rating as climate class SN...

    [Help/ Advice please] Fridge-freezer electrics malfunction

    I looked into having a new compressor fitted to my freezer. The cost was simply not worth it, the compressor would cost 2/3rds price of freezer and then it needed fitting so likely cost more to repair than buy new. There are in the main three sections to a freezer or fridge/freezer. One the...

    Switch with or without neon

    I have a fridge/freezer that has no "off" setting on its very basic controls - just "less cold". Plugged into a socket low down behind it in the middle of a run of cabinets. Whilst supposedly "frost-free" it needs defrosting approx once per year - and it's a real pain in the rear to man handle...

    Hotpoint FZFM151 freezer not freezing

    Is it a "frost-free" freezer? If so, yes, take out all the food and eat it, and leave it switched off with the freezer door open for 24 hours or until water stops dripping into the cabinet or into the dish round the back, whichever is the longer. If you cut short the defrost you have wasted...

    Fridge Freezer making weird fan noise?

    I will guess that it is a nominally "frost-free" freezer. It is not unusual for the cold air ducts to block with ice, leading to the freezer section warming. It will be worse if the door has been left open or if the door seals are worn or damaged. To clear them, take out all the food and...

    Freezer icing up (frost free)

    this is not unusual Frost-free freezers have air ducts hidden inside the rear casing. It is possible for them to become choked with ice. Turn it off and open the doors. Eat all the food. Leave it open until there are no more drips inside the cabinet or into the dish on top of the motor...

    Freezer icing up (frost free)

    Hi I have a Bosch fridge freezer - model I think is KGN34X00 Short story is clear ice is building up in freezer. I had one attempt to defrost it (switched off for a day) but didn't cure it. I wanted to remove the plastic panels inside to get to the drain hole but wasn't sure how. I've...

    LG Fridge Freezer tripping power

    OK clearly not motor that is good but could still be the de-frost as you it would seem have stopped some functions working. It is common practice for home brewers to use old fridge freezers and they will use a device like this which allows them to have a temperature set out of the normal range...

    AEG Fridge Freezer SCT71900SO

    I have one of these frost free FF's. I find a small amount of ice forming at the bottom of the freezer unit. It seems to dribble from a plastic cover at the rear of the box. I read about other frost free's developing ice where a blocked drain hole was to blame. But that was Samsung. If any one...

    New Sky router power consumption

    I tried to work out what was using so much power with a plug in meter. But then I started to work out what it would cost to replace heavy users with more efficient models and I was coming up with 10 ~ 20 years to pay for the change and that was without fracturing in interest lost on money used...
