DEFY F640 Fridge/Freezer side by side. The freezer made clicking sound, and green light flicker for a while then stops. Now it is not freezing anymore.

Hi, the defrost element of our defy double door fridge is tripping our electricity. Are there any certified defy technicians in the garden route, specifically the George, Sedgefield area?
Contractor's Assistant: What's https://waltonbd.com/refrigerator-freezer/freezer and model of your fridge? How old is it?
Defy double door model F640 and it is about 15 years old
Contractor's Assistant: How long has this been going on with your refrigerator? What have you tried so far?
For about a month. Just before Christmas. We have had an appliance technician here and he said it's probably 99% the defrost element. He checked everything else, the plug the gas etc. Those were all in order.

The red light that comes on and the freezer not freezing could indicate a few possible issues: Temperature setting: Check to make sure that the temperature setting in the freezer is set correctly. If the temperature is set too high, the freezer may not freeze properly. Thermostat: The thermostat may be malfunctioning, which can cause the freezer to stop freezing. You may need to have it replaced. Evaporator fan: If the evaporator fan is not working, it can cause the freezer to stop freezing. You can check to see if the fan is running by listening for it or feeling for air flow in the freezer. If it's not running, it may need to be replaced. Condenser coils: Dirty or clogged condenser coils can cause the freezer to stop freezing. You can clean the coils with a vacuum or brush. If you've tried all of these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

Unfortunately it is not possible to bypass your F640 Defy Fridge on the freezer side. The only way to access the freezer is by using the control panel on the outside of the unit.

Hi,

Please ensure that you're using a compressor that is compatible with your fridge. You can compare your newer compressor to the one that was originally installed to your fridge. If the newer part number is different from that of your older compressor, then you might want to swap it for the exact model of your old compressor.

Otherwise, you could use a handyman from Angi or Home Depot in order to overcome the issue.

Thank you.

The blinking orange light on your Defy F640 freezer indicates a fault with the fast freeze function. There could be several reasons for this, including a malfunctioning temperature sensor or control board, a blocked or dirty air filter, or a problem with the refrigerant system.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

1. Check the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary.
2. Make sure the freezer door is properly closed and sealed.
3. Check the temperature sensor and control board for any signs of damage or malfunction.
4. Verify that the refrigerant system is working correctly by checking for any leaks or issues with the compressor.

If you are unsure how to check these components or suspect a more serious issue, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

The defrost timer has failed if it is only in the fridge, or if it is building up in the freezer as well, it may also be the heater. They should all defrost every 24 hours. Call for service.

There are three fans in that model

Circulating fans:
Fridge compartment in the top right.

and

It could be that your evaporator fan motor has broken ... which for some refrigerators results in your symptoms of good freezer temperature and too warm in the fridge side. I am not familiar with your model so there could be other issues.
