Surely the fuse value in the plug or FCU is dependent on the CSA of the flexible cable! 0.75mm² means 5A, 1.0mm² 10A and 1.25/1.5mm² 13A. However, as 0.75mm² is rated for 6A continuous, I would suggest that a 7A fuse would be acceptable to allow for inrush currents which might degrade a 5A fuse, and cause premature failure

Yes, and the cooling elements are tucked away at the back of the compartment, with an air outlet at each shelf level. What I fail to understand the logic of, is running the air circulation fan, when the temperature is rising, and the compressor not running..
I would imagine that .... even if the compressor is not running, the coils/fins will remain very cold for quite a while, so air blown over them (and into the cavity) will be pretty cold, and therefore will cool the ('warming') cavity - but, as I said, only if the door is closed; if the fan were on with door open, that cold air (and other cold air already within the cavity) would be blown out into the room.
Kind Regards, John
Our frost free, and for that matter our previous FF, the heater element is in the 'plate' inside the back of the fridge compartment and the melt water runs into a gutter and drains out via a tube to evaporate in a tray on the warm compressor.

So that the box temperature changes uniformly and the refridgeration kicks back in at the appropriate time.
Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense now..
