Fisher and Paykel Active Smart E522B Bottom Freezer Refrigerator Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 14, 2012

E522B - About 6 mths ago, a the clip on the bottom hinge of the freezer door broke into two , depositing the one end on the kitchen floor . Fridge seemed to operate OK regardless. Today, the same clip on the fridge door did the same - simply when the door was opened ! Are these truly important, what is their function, and should they be replaced ?

    The clip in question located at the bottom of each door directly under the actual hinge. It is made of Grey Plastic, and the one end is in the form of a hook - it is this hook that has broken off on both items

    The 3 solutions posted, while appreciated are not relevant to my query . There are no freezing/defrosting problems - just the two clips have broken off- everything appears to be working just fine, but these clips must have a function or they would not be there. Cheers R

I know this thread is super-dead. Mine broke off a while ago and it means the door doesn't stop until it is 180 degrees open. The bit that broke off is the door-stop part of the lower hinge.

I just put this here in case it helps someone else stumbling upon this thread as I did.

As far as I can tell, the part is available somewhere. I am off to find out where, next...

SOURCE: top of fridge warm but bottom freezer working ok

there is also a fan in the freezer compartment which if broken will cause this problem. you need to check that both fans are working. please refer to other fridge posts here re repairing/ replacing the freezer fan- there is a document here which shows you exactly what you need to do. important thing is to switch off the appliance first and leave the freezer door open for about 20 minutes before attempting to remove the back cover ie let it warm up first, so that you don't break any of the panels.

SOURCE: fridge section runs warm. Freezer ok it seems.

Sounds like the inside fan is getting worn out. Should vary in speed. Try replacing the fan and see if that fixes it. I'd bet it will. ken

SOURCE: THE TOP PART (FRIDGE) IS NOT COOLING

We had the same problem. The duct between the freezer unit and fridge is probably iced over - a design problem apparently. Allowing to completely defrost will solve.

SOURCE: Hi, I have a fisher

open the doors feel around where the seals close on the frame of the unit do you feel its hot sometimes what happens is when the compressor fan stops running this is one of the first ways of telling also as far as the ice you would need to do continuity test on the tstat heater to assure that they are working properly and advancing your unit into defrost mode when its supposed to be ingore the first comment i just saw that you said fridge feels warm that would be on the inside which would be a defrost problem remove the back panel of the freezer you should either see the fan not working and blocked up with ice which causes the fridge to get warm or either your tstat or heater have went bad if you are the one conducting the continuity test please unplug your unit before testing if you have any further questions please message me back and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped with your appliance situation Thanks again

Water is building up on bottom of fridge

If you have water build-up on the floor of the food compartment, or ice buildup on the floor of the freezer compartment, you are probably suffering from either a frost problem or from a clogged defrost drain.

Remove everything from your freezer, including all food and any shelves. Do not remove the icemaker (if installed.)
Look at and feel the panel covering the bottom or back of the freezer compartment. Is it thick with frost?
On top freezer models, are the holes in the top of the food compartment that lead to the evaporator choked with ice?
Is there ice forming on, or lots of water on the ceiling of the food compartment?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, there's probably a defrost problem.
If you suspect a defrost problem, first remove any icemaker that may be installed. You will see a removable panel covering the entire back or bottom of your freezer compartment. There may be 6 to 10 or more screws holding it on. In some units there is a light socket attached to the panel; you'll see this arrangement most often in side-by-sides.

If you start to get an unusual buildup of ice in one particular spot in your freezer, especially beneath the icemaker, check for water leaks.
Water leaking onto the kitchen floor not traceable to one of the problems in Chapters 4 or 6 may be from a leak in the icemaker or door dispenser water system. Icemakers have a water solenoid valve mounted on the back of the fridge, usually behind the back bottom panel, and a water tube that leads straight up the back of the fridge to the icemaker. Door dispensers have a similar water solenoid valve with a water tube that leads beneath the fridge and into the door through a hollow hinge. If your fridge has both features, it's usually a dual water solenoid valve. It can be simple or not-so-simple to fix, but basically it's just a plumbing job.

How to remove doors of a whirlpool 6vmw47 top mount fridge/freezer

Hello Hicherringto,

I understand that you would like instructions on how to remove the doors on your fridge. Most common on top mount freezers/fridges you need to start at the top and work your way down.

1. Locate the freezer hinge top part where the door swings.
2. Remove the plastic cover over the henge. (top of the box if covered)
3. Remove the screws holding the henge in place.
4. Lift up on the henge
5. Open the freezer door and lift up (the door should lift off the bottom pin)
6. Open the Fridge door and remove the screws from the hinge that the freezer door sat on
7. Remove the hinge from the fridge door by lifting up
8. Open and lift up on the fridge door
9.Reinstall in reverse

That is the easiest way to remove the doors on a top mount freezer fridge. Note that when you reinstall the doors you will have to adjust the hinges so that the seals seal properly. The hinges have enough of a grove that you use them to adjust the doors.

Thank you for choosing FIxYa.com

The water sould drain out the back of the fridge into an evaporativr drain tray

Whenever fridge door is shut hard/ quickly it causes the freezer door to pop open a little...and meltdown the frozen stuff. The fridge door has dropped a bit but I don't think that is it. It seems there...

The lower hinge on each door may have a door closing cam. It raises the door up Ā¼ inch when opening and this assist in closing the door. If it's wore out and doesn't work the door may not seal and the gasket can be damaged. Watch the operation of the door to see if it rises up when opened.

Leave the door shut and let the magnetic gasket hold the door in place. Put something between the bottom of the door and the floor to hold it in case it slips.
Remove the bracket holding the pin and hinge assembly taking note of order of removal of parts. Slide new cams on. You probably need two.

Need to temporarily move our Whirlpool Gold refrigerator to replace kitchen floor. How do we remove fridge doors so we can get it through the doorway?

Usually, there are bolts/screws on the hinges. They may be covered with a plastic cap which will snap off. Start with the freezer door. While supporting the door, remove the screws from the hinge and lift to free the door. Now you should have access to the hinge supporting the refrigerator door. Same procedure for refrigerator door. Keep the screws in a safe place so you can reassemble the refrigerator when the kitchen floor is done.
