Problem for Fisher and Paykel Active Smart E522B Bottom Freezer...

F & P Fridge/Freezer Model N395B freezing under vege bins




By rsscott on Dec 04, 2008

" "
The channel (in the fridge compartment) that collects the water and then drains it is freezing up (including the drain) and causing any additional water to overflow from the channel and run down the back face of the fridge and then freeze under the vege bins. I have just defrosted the fridge but it looks like it is going to do it again. I did notice (the first time it froze) that a horizontal steel bar had slipped down from behind the plastic panel above the channel and was touching the water/ice in the channel but I have now pushed this up behind the panel out of view.
Any Solutions?

-   I have the same problem. Water seems to be coming down the back of the fridge and pooling in the tray above the F&V, and freezing under the F&V containers. Sick of water everywhere, and F&V freezing.-   Guest

While staying with a friend that had this problem we assaulted the fridge. Pulling everything we could apart. After finding this link http://www.stokes-aus.com.au/StokesAP/Manufacturer_Info/FP/FRIDGES/517579%20%20Series%20R%20N308R,308XR,325TR,369BR,375TR,395BR,400HR,4.pdf which had a parts list similar to the fridge we had. Pulled out the Defrost timer paragon located next to the compressor. After giving it a good shake it started making ticking sounds again. It appears that it is semi-faulty in our case and had stopped working.

My F&P did the same thing for ages and ages. I tried cleaning out the drain hole many times, even with warm water - still refroze water down the back of the fridge and underneath the veggie bins. The advice from fridge repairers was it needed regassing but can't be regassed though because it's the old type of gas which isn't used any more. Repairer's further advice - take it to the dump!
