    Home Brewing

    I did have a brew fridge/freezer before moving, the original idea was to just heat the brew, but the old fridge/freezer insulation was too good, and it had to be cooled for first 24 hours of starting a blew, I would start in freezer compartment and complete in fridge, I used a 18 watt demo floor...

    All RCBOs?

    I think you have to remember I fitted all RCD protection back in early 90's when they were quite new, so maybe my RCD's are not to modern standards and more like to trip with a spike, and fact resetting one RCD could cause the other one to trip if I did not turn off the MCB's first also points...

    Assistance in choosing Main Consumer Unit

    Freezer off time and still OK depends on type of freezer and where in the cycle the power failed. A chest freezer likely a couple of days, but an upright freezer frost free depends on if centre of freezing cycle so likely 8 hours, or just finished de-frost cycle then looking at less than 2...

    Hotpoint XAO95 T1 Fridge Freezer: Fridge warm, Service Manual needed.

    I mean inside the freezer, the cavity behind the removable panel often fills with solid ice. I would take it off to check no matter what, it only takes 5mins to have a look. I'm not saying that's your problem but 'Frost Free' Hotpoint FF's are not actually Frost Free! I had to do it about once a...

    Hotpoint frost free freezer

    thanks again. I spoke to hotpoint and he said it should run out of that grill/hole in the bottom shelf. He also said frost free freezers should be defrosted once a year. Brand new information for me :)

    Hotpoint frost free freezer

    Hi, Have an integrated frost free freezer. At the top it was making an awful noise. Had hotpoint out and he said the fan that blows the cold air is hitting ice and it needs defrosting. Since when do frost free freezers need defrosting? Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

    Samsung RS21DCSV Freezer temperature problem.

    A Samsung may well indeed be different to a Hotpoint but on my Hotpoint FF I've had this issue twice over the years, albeit the freezer too cold and fridge not cooling but on those simply removing the freezer drawers gives access to the ice build up at the back of the freezer after removal of a...

    Samsung RS21DCSV Freezer temperature problem.

    this might be the common problem in frost-free fridge-freezers, where the air ducts inside the back panel (that cold air is blown through) become choked with ice when the automatic defrosting fails to work. Temporary cure is to take out all the food and eat it, then leave the appliance, turned...

    Reasons why this RCD keeps tripping?

    Back in the 90's I returned to UK to find the RCD revolution, the big problem was neutrals not switched, so simply switching things off to locate the cause of tripping often did not work, and I ended up getting the tools out to disconnect things to test. It has all moved on since then, in the...

    Bush frost free fridge freezer - Are they ok for the money?

    Frost-free go wrong a lot more often (see "related threads" below) and have a relatively short life. A basic freezer has almost nothing to go wrong.

    Help with freezer in garage

    The main problem with too cold is the auto defrost drain freezing, so in general chest freezer is OK in the garage, upright with auto defrost (some times called frost free) is not. But as said at this time of year unlikely to be a problem. As @Taylortwocities link says insulation can break...
