Usually when this happens it is either a evaporator fan or a defrost problem. Check that the fan in the back of the freezer is running. Or if there is frost on the back of the freezer. Frost indicates a defrosting problem.

Chances are great that it is the defrost heater. Most unfortunately, I just discovered that Magic Chef has discontinued this part. It is simply not available. Hmmm...if this is true I won't be getting another Magic Chef ..ever. For now, the freezer is freezing but there is a build-up of frost at the back of the freezer. Just how long this can last is anybody's guess. Our only hope is to find someplace like a refrigerator parts graveyard...or,I suppose, a new one. Ah, me...

No hot air blowing through the vents on a 1998 ford contour 2.4l can anybody tell me why?

Hi again Joe

How come your Ford Contour has changed from a 2.0 litre to a 2.4 overnight?

Now you have heat in the heater core housing. That is hot enough to blow warm air. Is the fan working okay? The only thing left if that pesky electronic heater valve. At least with your newly found 2.4 litre engine, there are more spares available for that model.

Good luck with it. I think I'm out on this one now.

Converting 14 degrees c to f

To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, you multiply by 9/5 and then add 32.

For example, 0 degrees Celsius would be 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Another example, 100 degrees Celsius would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

14 degrees Celsius would be 57 degrees Fahrenheit.

Good luck,

Paul

I have my brand new frigidaire window ac unit set at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so why does it only cool and keep the room at 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit?

if you have it set at 60 F and it is working at 65 to 68 F then that would be about right
as the air is cooled the cold air falls to the floor and out under the door, open window or anywhere else it can escape
the unit has to be at 80% room height so if it is set in a window then when the cold air gets up to the thermostat or ac level in the window then it will stop cooling
So if the ac unit is say 4ft from the floor and the ceiling height is 8 ft then the ac will only cool the bottom 4 ft
cold air does not rise but falls down
if you are using a ceiling fan then the cold air is stirred up and the 65F sounds about right
remember that the setting temp ( what you set it at) is the lowest temp that it will go down to before it stops cooling and if that is not reached it will keep working to attain that temp and if the room is too big, air leaks under door . around the fit in the window , no insulated walls , hot exterior wall,etc then maybe 65 F is the best you will get

Fridge freezing up

Set your Ref/Freezer per the following:

Refrigerators:
36 to 40 degrees. Ideal temp is 37 Fahrenheit. Note: A temp above 42 degrees promotes bacteria.
Freezer: temp should be -5 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideal temp is 0 degrees.

You have to wait about 4 hours for everything to stabilize. If you are still having ice forming inside the freeezer then the rubber seal around the door is probably the problem. If they have a split, tear or crack, etc. it will let warm moist house air into the freezer and turn to ice as it cools. If this happens in the refrigerator it'll turn to water and collect in the bottom of the frig. New seals can cost around $60 per door.

If you pack too much food in the unit it may also cause freezing because the air needs to move around in there and food shouldn't block the vents in the back walls of the unit.

Hopefully this helps..

This isn't the hottest it gets. It goes all the way up to almost the red. It's over heating and we have changed the water pump,

A water pump in itself WILL NOT cause and engine to overheat, if it leaks badly and the coolant level drop very low then this will indirectly cause the engine to run hot or overheat. What I see in the video clip is NOT overheating, the fan doesn't come on until the engine reaches about 230 Degrees Fahrenheit, that is pretty well up about where the needle is in the video, if the cooling fan never kicks on after about 20 minutes of idle or doesn't engage when the AC (this assumes the AC is working)n issue.

Subzero 850 freezer temp reads minus 20 degrees

Hi,
Is it possible your unit is set to celsius rather than fahrenheit? I ran the -20c though a converter and is this is true your unit is running at -4 degrees fahrenheit and this would be a little cold but ok at this temperature. I would personally check settings before going further in to any repair. I was reaching the model you gave me and found the number you gave was incorrect. But try this; turn the whole unit off for a couple of minutes. Turn it back on, then push and hold the alarm and unit power button for 5 sec. this can only be done within the first 5 minutes of power up. This should confirm your display setting is correct, I am assuming you want fahrenheit rather then celsius. If this doesn't work for you, I will need to confirm model number so I can send you a digital version of the service manual if you need it.
Good Luck

The freezer on my Kenmore Elite Trio has stopped freezing. All my food is thawing. How do I set the freezer temperture at the coldest setting?

If the temperature is the problem this could be the solution

Problems with Temperature
If the refrigerator or freezer is not cooling properly, check temperature settings and air vents and ensure there is adequate room for proper airflow. Factory-recommended temperature settings are 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) for the refrigerator; and 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) for the freezer.
If you need to adjust the temperature, do it one degree at a time and wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments. Check the air vents and make sure nothing is blocking them. Finally, if your refrigerator or freezer is too full, there will not be adequate room for air to circulate and cool properly. If these all check out, the problem could be with one or more compressor components and will require professional repair.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for using FixYa : )
