Title: Fridge problem
Post by: 4D on Thursday, July 26, 2012, 08:56:42
I have a fridge that doesn't get cold enough, even when put on max. Any suggestions? It has a freezer next to it and you can feel the heat dispersion coming from the freezer right next to the fridge door seals.

Set up a clever device that pumps cold air from the freezer to the fridge which at the same time does not cause the freezer temperatutre to drop and will also trap moisture so it doesn't ice up.

Problem solved.

Move it further away from the wall so the element on the back has decent airflow. Make sure said element is clean.

I would guess the seal is perforated allowing the recent hot weather to penetrate the interior thus causing shagged fridge, as mentioned before, the element could also do with breathing. In short I would say its fucked.

Thanks guys. I guess replacing the seal would be the cheapest option. I don't keep anything vital in it; milk, salad, cheese etc. I keep all my beer in the fridge freezer in the garage  :)

My dishwasher now appears to be shagged, it's a Whirlpool and the start button just flashes. I wacked about 1kg of salt in and nothings changed. Any ideas?

Assuming you are serious - make sure the water is getting in, and make sure the waste pipe out isn't blocked.

Assuming you're serious, I've never known anyone with such bad luck. I still enjoy your posts though

My washing machine is fucked. I'm guessing there is some kind of white goods aids going about

This is a common fault with Fridge / Freezer combo's like the LG Model GR298...there is a fuse / link.

Hope this helps.

And on that note.....

My old Karcher 4040 pressure washer is up for grabs foc. You'll need to invest 80 quid to get Karcher to fix it for you but when working is a superb machine. After the debacle with the new one which has been returned to Argo I went to Machine Mart and bought one. Not tried it yet though. Anyone want my old one PM me.

My dishwasher is now working, I held the start button down for seven or eight seconds and away it went. Bloody machines!

That's not a bad idea, why don't you start a thread, if it takes off then the mods can "sticky" it.

Broken again. :(

It's a Whirlpool ADG 332 S WH
I can't find anything online that gives a fault diagnosis, the start button flashes and, from what I can gather, the number of flashes indicates a specific. The user manual doesn't have a troubleshooting section.  :cry:

Hmm, another model suggests this is fill fault and could be a sensor failure. This could be missleading as this was taken from another model and may not necessarily be the same for yours...

But lets be honest, if you've checked water can get in and out the machine its going to need a callout.

Reckon its probably an F7
