I have a 6 year old Fisher and Paykel Activesmart fridge that runs more than 90% of the time and keeps both the fridge and freezer too cold. I just looked and the fridge is currently 24 deg F and the freezer is -10 deg F.
A few months ago we got the repairman out because it wasn't turning off. He pulled the back out of the freezer and the element in there was enclosed in ice. The defrost element had a faulty connection that the repairman fixed (unplugged the connector and plugged back in). I defrosted the fridge for a day in 30 deg C weather and replaced the back of the freezer as instructed. Still running most of the time.
The repairman came back out and replaced the main control unit in the back with a brand new one. Still no good. He came back again later and replaced the control pad assembly in the fridge. Still no good.
The repairman reckoned the thermistors were all good. I unplugged the sensor wires from the main control unit and measured the resistances accross the three different pairs of wires at 3.77 Kohms, 20.16 Kohms and 5.06 Kohms.
Any ideas?
