Dear all,
I would appreciate some advice.
I have a Indesit BA 13 fridge. Manual here: http://imagebank.indesitcompany.co....ndesit/Refrigeration/BA13UK_19504024502gb.pdf
I bought it second hand and have discovered some problems.
1) The fridge has been freezing even on its warmest setting.
2) The light bulb of the fridge seems to be burning.
I bought a new light to check it was coming on and going off as it should do upon opening the door. I fixed this so it works.
I replaced the bulb for the light because I thought the warmth of the light may increase the fridge temperature such that it no longer freezes, but the new bulb seems to be getting very hot and burning the plastic inside. It looks like the previous owners had the same problem given the damage. I bought a 15W 240V light, same as previous owners bulb. Everywhere I look, it says 15W for a fridge light, maybe the voltage of the bulb is too high or low?
The 'radiator' black panel at the back of the fridge seems warm and I assume it is therefore working properly.
At the back of the fridge there is a black hole (shown by picture). I wonder if something is missing from here? A fan or something?
Any advice welcomed. I've tried the things that seem most obvious to me. I am willing to do whatever to try and get it working.
I have attached photos - I hope you can see them. They are in my album if not.
Thanks
