    Freezers, power consumption

    Old (12 to 15 years), basic, upright freezer, replaced this week - the measured consumption during winter, freezer located in the quite cool pantry... It worked out at around 0.850Kwh per day, as averaged over 45 days use. I suspect that consumption figure would be much higher, in the warmer...

    New vs old Hotpoint Fridge Freezer compressor running more often

    We have a new Hotpoint Fridge freezer, which replaced a 14 year old one which we had from new. Both frost free too. The new one works fine, and have even measured temperatures with thermometers inside to check it reaches the fridge and freezer temperatures it's set to (4 and -18) and it does...

    PAT testing system suggestions for 2000+ items

    Odd you say that, I found the reverse, had my own Robin and works Robin PAT tester and the works was all singing dancing model and mine was manual. The works unit first tested the supply, so every time you unplugged it the test was done again, the readings need to settle, so there are minimum...

    Fridge Freezer Frozen Puddle in Freezer Section

    If it's a frost free freezer, there is probably a duct choked with ice. As this is hidden inside the back, it takes a long time to melt out.

    Standby Generator or 15KW Battery UPS and 3kw MD

    A chest freezer should generally be "OK" for a lot more than 24 hours, provided it was not opened and particularly if it was kept as full as possible. The same is probably also true of upright freezers (again, provided it was not opened and particularly if it was kept as full as possible. so...

    Standby Generator or 15KW Battery UPS and 3kw MD

    A chest freezer is good for nearly 24 hours, however an upright frost free depends on when it last defrosted. I had one fail, and had a spair in garage, heard it go bang so knew when it had stopped, gave spair an hour to cool first, stuff in bottom OK, but stuff in top foot had started to...

    American style fridge freezer - freezer not getting cold

    It's often the cold air ducts in the back clogged with ice when the frost-free fails or is overwhelmed. Take out all the food and eat it, turn it off, open the doors and leave it open for at least 24 hours, or until water has stopped dripping, both inside and into the drainage dish on top of...

    RCD suddenly Tripping

    Since 2008 the regulations have said "Every installation shall be divided into circuits, as necessary, to: (iii) take account of danger that may arise from the failure of a single circuit such as a lighting circuit (iv) reduce the possibility of unwanted tripping of RCDs due to excessive...

    BEKO Fridge Freezer Model Number

    Hello I'm having a major freeze issues with my BEKO Fridge Freezer where the fridge compartment is freezing over and acting more like a freezer than a fridge. Changing the temperature in the fridge compartment doesnt seem to make any difference. It is supposed to be frost free. Granted it is old...

    Zanussi ZFT10210WA

    Thanks again JJ, The whole idea of this kit, is no frost. I can no longer get down to defrost them. You are right though. Because I thought it would simply be a loose screw, I struggled to empty it and get the panel off,,,,, Alas, it wasn't to be. As you say, there is a build up of ice behind...

    Saving electricity.

    I've never paid anything remotely like that much for any refrigeration appliance. I have my own power-failure and over-temp alarms, which cost almost nothing in components, and took only a small amount of time to construct. You seem to be overlooking the fact that, as I said, the fridges and...

    Saving electricity.

    So you think we should switch them off at night? I did the same, however for a frost free freezer with a indicator to tell you during a power failure what was the max temperature reached is around the £750 upwards mark, if it lasts 10 years, then you have to consider swapping needs to save £75...

    Rcd tripping

    I have unplugged everything now including the boiler and left the fridge freezer connected. It does not happen all the time it happens after every 4 hours or so

    Rcd tripping

    If on a regular basis then looking for some thing which happens on a timed basis, I would suspect the frost free freezer as it goes into the defrost cycle. Unplugging anything which is not being used rather than using the on/off switch may help, and for items you can't unplug like the...

    Blown Sockets - Diagnostic Assistance Needed Pleeeeease?

    OK RCD makes more sense, so the main problem is neutrals are rarely switched, and with no load neutral and earth are the same voltage, so ohms law 0/ohms = 0 amps, so even if neutral connected to earth the RCD will not trip. However once we put a load on the circuit the neutral voltage raises...

    AEG - Frost Free Freezer - completely frozen! repair options?

    Hi, my (frost free) freezer in my integrated fridge freezer model AEG SCN71800S1 - has completely frozen over. Please see images attached. I'm aware "The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan" - so...

    Hello, I have a Logik Fridge LFC50S18 (it's Curry's own brand fridge freezer with the fridge on top). Recently the back wall of the fridge compartment started developing ice - to such an extent that the contents of the fridge become frozen. The top surface of the fridge has the light and...

    Failed RCD in Consumer Unit??

    That's what I thought and, at least initially, I would have thought that the door seals seem pretty good. I really don't understand these things :) Where is this 'heater'? Is it really in the freezer cavity? If (despite the 'frost free') frost/ice develops within the cavity, isn't that most...
