Re: Anybody good on compressor fridges?

Well, final update on my fridge saga. Temperature discrepancy is still there - with the thermostat turned up the freezer is down to -20C but the fridge will still not budge below +9. I've checked the walls and re-checked the door seal and still can't find anything but have concluded it's got to be t...

Re: Anybody good on compressor fridges?

Another thing I have just thought of, though it might be unlikely, is that the one thing that really compromises insulation is water. Is there any chance that water has leaked into the fridge insulation rendering it pretty much useless? As you say it seems unlikely Steve but, at this point, I'm pre...

Yeah, I've checked the door seals and they look good. I'm just going to keep monitoring the temperatures in both and see what happens.

Re: Anybody good on compressor fridges?

This is really bugging me because this fridge worked perfectly for three years before these problems started and now it all seems to cock! :( Anyway this is where things are at this morning - left it on overnight with the thermostat at a mid-way setting and, as far as I know, the compressor and fan ...

Re: Anybody good on compressor fridges?

Any nearer Martin? I understand these compressor's are the best these days but own up to not understanding them properly Dunno really. Checked all the connections and they're OK. Took the thermostat out and put it back in again as Waeco suggested the sensor might be in the wrong place. But it's not...

Steve.
Will do, thanks.

Re: Anybody good on compressor fridges?

If the thermostat is not the problem, i suspect the thermocouple sensor which provides the temperature information back to the controller. Can you open up the electronics to get a photo of the connections. This would help with diagnosis. I don't think the CR110 has a thermocouple. I think it just r...

Re: Winter Living in Arctic Sweden

Quite like to make a note of Who's been that far North if anyone here has please drop me a note. Took our EC8L up to Nordkapp, calling in at the factory in Dorotea, back in 2009 but that trip was May through to September. Being a bit of a warm weather sissy I don't think I'd fancy was Chris is plan...

Anybody good on compressor fridges?

Got a Waeco CR110 that's being a real pain in the bum. Compressor and fan are running continuously. Fridge and freezer compartment are getting cold (very cold) but the compressor is not cycling on and off to maintain temperature, just running all the time, and is not responding to adjustments of the...
