NOT COOLING (Franklin FWC35)

The other night the "hi temp" alarm went off. I pulled the front lower vent cover and removed a wall of dust from what looks like some coils??. The fan did come on later but in the morning it was reading the same temp (71 deg) unplugged for a bit and plugged back in and have not heard fan turn on or any noise. The display lights up. I can adjust temp setting but it never cools. When I removed my wine I noticed a demple inside, at the bottom, about 3 inch circle, that the plastic looks to have melted a bit. Can't find a repair manual. Any info at all will help. Thank You

Sound like maybe the Compressor may have packed it in. Sometimes they overheat and that is what melts the plastic liner of the refridgerator. You need to call a service repair person or simply take the small frideg to them at the repair center. Most manufactureres have a repair cneter locator. Go to their web site and find the autorized repair center near you. If it is still under warranty you will in most cases need to find the receipt. ( TIP I put a copy of the receipt on the back in a ziplock bag on all appliances) This makes it easier to find them when things go wrong.

Friedrich Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner. How to remove vents to clean.

Question edited for clarity and the correct spelling of the maker.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks category.

It is the opposite of replacing the cover. Undo the screws and remove the case with the top vents. It _should_ leave the control panel in place but it is does move, be sure to disconnect it. Clean with Tilex Spray to kill the mold and then rinse well and use a strong detergent to remove grime and dust.

Miele Touchtronic T1403: how best to thoroughly clean front vent/filter crevice?

Sounds like you did a pretty good job. In my experience the blockages are in the rear machine vent, the tube, and just behind the external wall vent. You can even find the odd bird nest in there. Also make sure the flaps on the outside open fully and with ease..

I have Samsung side-byside fridge RS2630SH problem with fridge not cooling properly 13c/55f, however the freezer looks to be working -16c/3f.

it seems that you have something in the freezer blocking the air from coming to the fridge, it can also be cover by an item from the fridge.

I have 2goodmanGKS9 gas furnaces(propane) installed on 27 Dec 2009. Both units are working. One is in the basement adjacent to the rear outside wall. Lower unit heats about 1200 square feet. Lower...

well lets start with the 2" pvc pipe. that is a combustion air intake it does not put air into the room, i hope. this is a 90% furnace and they should have installed it that way. there should be 2 pipes to the outside the other is combustion gases. the dust problem maybe caused by the air return pulling the air to that room. the bedroom normaly does not get the trafic that the rest of the condo does.so it would not have as much dust.

We have a side by side samsung fridge/freezer. The freezer is working fine but the fridge is up to 60. We pulled the fridge away from the wall and cleaned underneath and also removed the grate in the...

One of the biggest problems is with the new refrigerants (R134A in this case). If the unit gets overheated it actually causes the salts in the moisture releases and travels throughout the system eventually clogging the metering device (capillary tube). The only thing that can be done is to have the system flushed, new drier, evacuated and re-charged.
Then make sure there is enough air circulating and keep the coils squeaky clean.

How to remove the front panel holding the air louvers...

We have a FAC127P1A and if you gently pull the lower cover by holding each side where there is an indentation it will lower so you can get to the filter. Then either replace or wash the filter. We have another model, FAA087P7A1, and we were able to pull the cover down and lift up slightly and remove the cover and wash to remove the collection of dust, etc.

On this latter model there is a collection of dust, etc. in the area where the cooling is blown into the room that I would like to know how to remove for cleaning. I feel it is unhealthy the way it is now and would like to clean it before removing for the season. I know I could use q-tips or a small piece of cloth to clean but that is pain staking.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a Kitchenaide side by side refrigerator thats not cooling.

Check the coils underneath the fridge. Check the coils in back if accessible. Clean the coils if covered in excessive dust it may help. Make sure the vent on fridge side isn't blocked or plugged.
