    Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 Review

    I thought OK let me read it, maybe they have something I could use. - 2 year battery life, well about average, depends on what batteries are used. - Fine temperature control in 0.5°C steps well that's normal for all the electronic TRVs I have. - Comparison between Aqara W600 and Danfoss RAS-C2...

    BoschSeries 2 fridge door left open - no longer gets cold enough

    ...through the ducts. Have you seen any evidence that the blockage has gone? Maybe it hasn't melted yet. Or maybe it is draining somewhere you can't see. Frost free freezers drain the melt water out through a gutter and pipe usually round the back where it can evaporate from the heat of the...

    BoschSeries 2 fridge door left open - no longer gets cold enough

    It's a frost free freezer but again, after leaving the fridge to recover for 6 hours the temp at best is 9 degrees. Gutted! I can't see ice stiil on the element after 11.5 hours defrost in Summer with a fan blowing into it. And the fact that it hasn't made an iota of difference to the temp is...

    BoschSeries 2 fridge door left open - no longer gets cold enough

    ...very common for ice to build up in the ducts hidden in the back to such an extent that they are blocked. I have only seen it happen in "frost free" fridge freezers where there is a fan to blow the cold air. Once they are blocked, it takes a long time to melt out and drain away. If you only...

    Chimney stack removal

    I hadn’t thought of it as the mortar crumbling. I assumed it had cracked and moved and what’s why it’s leaning. You are probably right though as the top had a huge crack in it before we had it replaced last year so I wonder if water had run down it when it rained and caused the damage. That’s...

    Now shut your biscuit hole.. Polishing for Precision: In some contexts, sweeping is described as "polishing" because it smooths out frost and imperfections. However, scientific reviews suggest that in frost-free conditions, the heating effect is much more significant for reducing friction than...

    We only have part of the picture (no pun intended) so it's difficult to assess whether you're having your leg lifted or if the installer has quoted you low for all the work that might be involved. There are a few factors to bear in mind that might be contributing to your current issues: - I'm...

    Puzzle of the Day

    Probably you did. Our latest freezer, isn't a problem, but it's predecessor, wasn't a frost free - hence no defrost drain. You would go in for an item, close the door, then release you needed something else. It would totally refuse to reopen. Yes, mine is the same, or maybe worse... When I...

    Important information Preparing for a power cut.

    ...had a few hours to swap food. Food in the majority of the freezer was OK, but top foot food had started to defrost. The whole idea of the frost free upright is the working parts are behind a panel and a fan moves the cold air around so all the freezer is at the same temperature, there are no...

    Defrost cycle - over 10 Celcius?

    This model doesn't have a freezer section Harry it's just an integrated fridge. So like Eric I am puzzled why it needs to defrost. The user guide says that moisture can form on the inner covers and run down into the evaporater tray but doesn't mention ice forming anywhere.

    Defrost cycle - over 10 Celcius?

    A fridge working hard, can accumulate frost on the 'heat exchanger', but a combined fridge/freezer, frost free, will definitely need a defrost cycle.

    Fridge compartment iced

    Even though your Hotpoint fridge freezer is labeled "frost free," the ice buildup at the back of the fridge compartment (as seen in your photo) suggests the auto-defrost system isn't working properly. This could be due to: Blocked air vents – It’s packed in there, and airflow is key. If cold...

    Ice forming in bottom of Indesit Fridge Freezer

    Yes frost free & I did look at other posts. Most advise the issue but I was asking as to where the drainage hole / pipe etc is located just in case I could remove something but sounds like the issue is a build up of ice.

    Is it a Frost Free Freezer? Dozens of threads about this common problem of clogged ducts. (See below) Keep it open until water stops dripping, both inside the cabinet and into the collection dish at the back (Clean out the dish) The start of the problem might have been leaving the door open...

    Boiler lockout.

    ...ago, but it seems to regularly lockout with code 9F 855. The installers suggested a frozen condensate pipe, however, it happens even on frost free days. Our oil tank was replaced at the same time, so unlikely to be from contamination (imho). The only common factor I can determine is that the...
