Arctica Refrigerators - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned warmer which makes REF. colder or vice versa.
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

On an AEG SANTO 3533, the tray sits on top of the compressor. There is a short metal "tunnel" on top of the compressor. The tray has a plastic clip in the middle which goes through the tunnel and latches up on the other side. To remove, reach to the back of the metal in the middle of the tray, press the plastic clip firmly down, and pull/wiggle the tray backwards horizontally to remove. Needed a torch to see clearly on mine. One of these things that's easy once you've done it once.

Copper has anantibacterial effect. Studies recommend storing water in copper containers for several hours before consumption to maximize this benefit. Some research suggests 48 hours. perhaps explore dedicatedcopper water bottlesfrom reputable sources for optimal water storage. This refers to water, not juices.

Sometimes the timer jmalfunctions and the refrigerator will not go in to a defrost mode. Try unplugging it and defrost the refrig and plug it in again.

Hi
You are right. The only way to repair this is by replacing the complete door assembly. If under a year it should be covered.

The defrost timer in a Hisense upside-down fridge freezer, model number HR6BMFF520S, is typically located within the control panel or the refrigerator compartment. Here are the general steps to locate it:

1. Check the Control Panel: Start by inspecting the control panel of the refrigerator. Look for any knobs, buttons, or switches that control the defrost cycle. The defrost timer may be integrated into this panel.
2. Inside the Refrigerator Compartment: If you don't find the defrost timer in the control panel, check inside the refrigerator compartment. It might be located near the temperature control settings or the light fixture. You may need to remove any covers or panels to access it.
3. Consult the User Manual: If you're having trouble locating the defrost timer, refer to the user manual that came with your fridge freezer. It often contains detailed diagrams and information about the location of various components, including the defrost timer.
4. Contact Hisense Customer Support: If you're still unable to locate the defrost timer, consider reaching out to Hisense customer support for assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your refrigerator model and help you locate the timer.

Once you've located the defrost timer, you can follow the manufacturer's instructions for troubleshooting or replacing it if necessary.

This is your freezer. https://www.google.com/search?q=Artic+Air+Model+AF49EX My advice is to check the defrost heater for efficiency and also for correct placement. You could also add an additional heater rod or heater blanket to the place where is freezes up. https://www.google.com/search?q=Artic+Air+Model+AF49EX+defrost+heater ..

When you open the door, all the cold air tumbles out, so the fridge starts up to replace the cold air. As you close the door it is running, but you can't hear it. One it gets to temperature, it stops. It can sometimes do this is seconds. If it was truly stopped, everything would be defrosted in the freezer and everything in the fridge would be warm. ...

Remove all bottles and shelves from the unit. Unplug the power cord from the outlet and wait for the unit to cool down completely. Locate the screws that secure the boards to the back wall of the unit and remove them with a screwdriver. Carefully pull out the boards and disconnect any wires or connectors attached to them. Replace the boards with new ones and reconnect any wires or connectors. Secure the boards to the back wall with the screws and tighten them firmly. Plug the power cord back into the outlet and turn on the unit. Reinstall the shelves and bottles and adjust the temperature settings as desired.
