Westinghouse fridge: no cool air circulating inside

Arthur here is a link to Westinghouse UK

Because your refrigerator is made only for the UK, part suppliers here in the USA, don't list your models. Your model may be an exact image of our with a difference...Electrical voltage. I think in the UK house voltage is 210-240 Volts AC

Here is 120 Volts AC for household appliances. That is what makes this difficult. Because if I did get you a part number related to ours it would be incorrect.

I would focus on the defrost control board , defrost timer or the mother board. I want access to the UK part suppliers but I believe they have the UK in their grip at the moment. Try to make contact with those people I listed above. Ask questions and don't let them force you into a costly house visit.

Are you having problems with the digital controls. If air flow is not as good on inside fresh food compartment make me think a defrost problem or low on freon or control board or defrost timer. But because I can not review the complete repair manual I can't give a good answer. Please let me know when you find your problem. Sorry I have not been much help.

Good to hear from you again. Usually the back panel will need to be removed by removing the shelf hangers. There are screws in center of shelf hangers. Please remember what came off and where, write it down if you need to. Now sometimes the thermostat begins to malfunction. But you must realize this is going to be shooting in the dark so as we say here. Most times when the refrigerator warms it is due to a defrost malfunction and the coils cover with ice and sometimes the liner inside freeze show frost. But you said earlier there was no visible frost on the wall of freezer. When you are able to view the evaporator coils and if they do not look frozen over we will need to look somewhere different. If you are able to stick with me on this we can get it fixed without you calling for a technician. It may take longer, but cost you a lot less. I think I gave you a link earlier to a man opening the freezer back to see frost all over the evaporator. I had one refrigerator problem one time that would begin again and again until I finally found a bad connection to the defrost element. It was a wire burn at the point of connection to the defrost element. When you get a good look at the evaporator coils let me know and we will go from there.
I ask in Chinese because my wife is Chinese from Guangzhou, China. I saw your last name as. If your refrigerator is three years old I think it may have electronic control boards. I hope not. Control boards have been a big problem for people and refrigerators. They are cheap to make and expensive to purchase. Yet they do help control the energy used on a refrigerator. Let me know what you find, Thanks, John Tripp

Arthur, I do not think the control board is on the door. That may be something that you control the temperature, water and ice dispenser. If your refrigerator has a temperature control board it would be on the back of refrigerator or in fresh food area inside the plastic cover where the light and controls for air flow. Yes on defrost refrigerator with hair dryer or just let the ice melt so you can look for the problem that caused this. The problem may be defrost heater, or defrost thermostat. When working normally the refrigerator defrost about every 10 hours. Not being able to see your refrigerator makes it harder to compare with a model made in the USA. If yours refrigerator has a control board it controls the defrost cycle depending on how much the refrigerator runs over a period of 10 hours or how may times the door was opened and this will cause the compressor to run a lot more during the day. Defrost it now, look for the problem, but until we find the problem this frozen evaporator will begin again every day.
