Fischer Paykel fridge freezes then stops

are the shelves the part that freezes the food in your model/ What is the model number of your fridge?


Appliance 911 Sea Breeze

you should send model number,if you have a damper control in your model most likely this is the problem,all that happens is cold air blows over from the freezer from the evaporator fan and blows through the top section of the fridge side,if the damper door isn't closing all the way it will cause freezing in the fridge section.

It maybe just coincidental that the noise appeared after the storm. However, if carbon deposits caused by an electric ark have created interference to something like the fan motor bearings. One would that any associated electronic device would not function either, if fitted.

Hello,

Most times this is a bad cold control, but there are other things to check for. Make sure the condenser fan is working and the coils are not covered with dust. A separated heat exchanger ( small capillary tubing soldered to the large suction line ) can separate from one another and make the fridge run too long. - tape tubing back together. A poor working evaporator fan motor could also make the fridge run too long and freeze - replace the fan motor. An inefficient compressor or refrigeration system could make the fridge run too long and freeze - have a service tech check this out. A misaligned control settings, make sure the air damper and cold control have not been bumped and are out of normal settings. Stuck open air diffusers or air dampers are becoming more and more common for allowing too much air to be blown into the fresh food section and freezing things. On all frost free fridge's the freezer temp air is blown into the fresh food section, if you have "easy" to freeze items ( eggs, veggies in water, etc ) in front of or under where the freezer temp air comes out, they could freeze - store them in a different spot. Doors not closing properly making the fridge run too long is something else to check for.
Take care.....

I have this same issue on a C410B, also located in Rye .

I think its a thermostat issue, unless yours is freezing only on the bottom of the fridge (which could be a fan circullation issue)

more than likey a provisions compartment fan ,(fridge compartment) symptoms include temprature stratifcation( where product freezes in lower part of refrigerator eg: crisper draws and top shelf warmer....
fan may appear to be functioning but broken wire may cause intermittent operation ..you can test these fans remove fan ...and test with square 9 volt battery or 12volt d.c supply....i hope this could be of use
ozzie fridge tech...;)

maybe fridge fan not working when door is closed could also be iced up air ducts between fridge and freezer

If the cabinet is warm inside it is a failed circulation fan, failed defrost causing the evaporator to freeze up, or it needs a refrigerant gas top up.

Beeping is just an alarm. It may be because of the more serious issues listed above but can also be caused by a failing door gasket, the door being left ajar (kids are famous for this) or the door has been left open too long deciding what to have for dinner.

I hope that answers all 8 of you :>D

Hi,

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

thanks,

Dear customer,

Please perform the following checks

• Check the temperature setting
• Assure that there is enough room for air flow in the refrigerator or freezer
• Check for air flow restrictions in vents
• Test the temperature control
• Clean the condensor coils
• Check the door seals
• Test the door switch
• Test defrost heater
• Test defrost timer
• Test evaporator fan
• Check for a clogged drain tube
• Check for refrigerant leak

Please rate this,. Thanks for using FIXYA.
