Temperature Setting Dial in Fridge

G'day I recently got an old Kelvinator Cyclic Defrost 340 fridge/freezer from a friend of mine however he has not used it in quite some time, i just need to know on the fridge cooling dial which is the colder setting 1 or 9? also how long should a fridge like this take to cool properly cheers

    Hi,

    I have a Kelvinator fridge freezer (KHBF336HWG). The temp setting ranges from 1-6. Please can you clarify whether 1 is the coldest setting or 6! I have a fridge full of Christmas food can you suggest which number setting would be best.

    Many thanks

Does this mean that #9 is the highest temperature, or the highest power (ie. coldest?)?

    Exactly. In a thermostat, a higher number produces a higher temperature. In a volume control, a higher number produces a higher ammount of power. The old Kelvinators did not indicate if a higher number produces a higher temperature or a higher amount of cooling power. Which is it, please?

My Kelvinator N245C fridge freezer is ok but fridge not cooling when i open the freezer door , the cold air through to fridge air outlet ok but when the freezer door shut and than no air to the fridge the...

first look for an air vent in the bottom of the fridge(a small grill on the inside wall) & make sure nothing is blocking it, like bread eg: if there isn't then unplug your fridge & let it defrost, check the drain outlet in the back of the freezer, sometimes a small item like a frozen pea gets into the drain & the water freezes around it causing the air not to return to the freezer from the fridge, to push air into the fridge you must be able to get air out or it presurises,

How do you defrost the kelvinator cyclic 300 fridge?

hi,
a manual defrost? unplug and get a 9by11 cake pan and a bunch of towels and a hairdryer. put the hairdryer on LOW only and get it positioned in the freezer (door) compartment so its pointing towards the back. cake pan in the bottom towels below. and on the floor. leave the door open about 3 or 4 inches but NOT shut so you have some air circulation. and check it frequently. make sure the hair dryer isnt pointed at the plastics at all. takes a day. pull it from the wall, remove the rear access cover behind the fridge and blow it out with a vac or air compressor too. theres an access panel inside the freezer and if your handy, your ice blockage causing that problem lives behind there in the freezer. use caution if your going to attempt taking that plate off inside. use nothing sharp.

Kelvinator fridge

The freezer defrosts every day. the puddle is from that. It is supposed to go into a pan at the bottom and evaporate. You need to look at the pan and determine if it has a hole or the drain hose is leaking somewhere.
