Hey Beke, thank you for your submission!
Based off the information you have provided your Electrolux refrigerator will not hold the temperature it is set to. When you set the temperature on the refrigerator it may take 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. I may need your model number in order to further assist you. You can locate your model number on the inside wall of your refrigerator usually on a silver or white tag. With this information I would be able to assist you further. -Matt

the reason for the blinkin light is to let you know that the freezer has detected higher than normal temps, did you expierence and food loss??? good indicator is ice cream ( it would look as if it has melted and refroze) generally you can reset the "alarm" by holdin down for 3 sec, and if it happens again soon after reseting id would imagine you are experiencing a problem.not dangerous, more for your information.
SOURCE: ONCE THE COMPRESSOR TURNS OFF DOESN'T COME UP BACK ON
The refrigerator is starting defrost mode once four hours of compressor run time has elapsed. Once the computer enters defrost mode it will remain in defrost mode until the desired evaporator temperature is reached (to melt any ice present). However, in my case, the defrost heater was not coming on due to a melted thermal fuse. (one defrost heater and one thermal fuse in each compartment). I found the thermal fuses to be open so I bypassed them. They are made to "open" at 77 degrees farhenheit. Simply storing the appliance in a garage could melt them. Hope this helps!!

If the problem disappears (for a while) when the freezer reaches 32F, then I know what the problem is.
The GE Profile refrigerators (and likely other models as well) often don't defrost properly, especially in humid climates. So they can develop
ice buildup internally, especially if the air vents at the back of the freezer are
blocked by frozen food. Once that happens, that ice can
interfere with the cold air circulation booster fan that runs when the
freezer temperature is too warm. Then you get a LOUD buzzing noise
from the fan blades, as they bang into the ice.
The immediate "solution" is to be sure nothing blocks the air vents, and then to melt the ice that interferes with the
fan. You can turn the fridge off for a while (with the food removed so
it doesn't spoil), and/or get a hair dryer and heat the inside back of the
freezer, until the ice melts and falls away from the fan. (Just be careful
not to block the nozzle of the hair dryer, or it may burn out
from overheating!)
But
the ultimate solution is to buy another refrigerator, one that is NOT
a GE! And that makes me sad, because GE used to make GREAT
refrigerators. My last GE refrigerator is nearly 20 years old, and still works well, and it does so QUIETLY.

The temp for the fridge is about right and -18 for the freezer is ok so check to see if the water filter is plugged, at 8 degrees Celsius is about 18 degrees fht. Which is freezing so the numbers don't add up. 26 degrees below zero on the freezer side is what you want if it that cold it could have frozen the water line.

Hi If refrigerator is not cooling properly it can be due to a
defrost timer, which is causing the fridge to go into defrost cycle. Usually it
takes 45-60 minutes for refrigerator to come out of defrost cycle. If the timer
goes bad then it will not come out of defrost cycle and can result in this kind
of issues. It can also occur due to defrost thermostat, it allows current to
pass through it at temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit and prevents
current from passing through it at 40 to 60 degrees. This is difficult to test,
though, because it takes a prolonged, very-cold temperature to turn it on. The defrost thermostat is snapped
onto the top portion of the evaporator. The thermostat sends temperature
information to the processor. The defrost heater must be replaced when
replacing the thermostat. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance. Daniel
1. Remove the lower fan duct work from the evaporator cover.
2. Remove the 1/4-in. evaporator cover screws and remove the evaporator cover.
3. Disconnect the defrost thermostat wiring connector.
4. Remove the defrost thermostat from the evaporator.
I appreciate your post, gianni roma!
From the information you have provided your Electrolux refrigerator is not holding the set temperature. It sounds like it could be a possible issue with your control panel or damper. I would suggest performing a reset on your refrigerator by disconnecting power from it for ten minutes. If a reset does not help correct the issue I would suggest having a professional come out and provide an accurate diagnosis. Best of luck! -Matt
Hello friend, thank you for your post!
I understand that you would like to put your Electrolux refrigerator into diagnostic mode. To initiate a diagnostic mode you would need press and hold "Control Lock" for three second or until "lo" is displayed. With the control locked press and hold "Up" and "Down" buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. I hope this is helpful. -Matt
Self Diagnostics
To enter Self Diagnostic mode, both temperature control panel displays must be illuminated. A display can be illuminated by pressing an adjacent temperature adjustment button. When both displays are illuminated, set the freezer and refrigerator temperature settings to 5. Simultaneously press and hold all
4 temperature adjustment buttons for approximately 3 seconds. A flashing 0 in the refrigerator and freezer displays will indicate that the refrigerator is in Self Diagnostic mode.
To perform a self diagnostic test, locate the test in Table 2, Diagnostic Tests.
For temperature control panels with single-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers up and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers down. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in
the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test.
Press the HOLD button for 3 seconds to begin the test.
For temperature control panels with 3-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers down and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers up. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in
the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test code. Press any button other than a temperature adjust button to begin the test.
When testing has been completed, do one of the following things:
• Enter code 1 5 to completely reset the system.
• Enter code 1 6 to exit diagnostic mode. The temperature control panel is reset automatically.
• Unplug the refrigerator for at least 10 seconds. Test mode will terminate when the refrigerator is plugged back in.
Test mode will terminate automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
(or in your case.... after the deforst cycle completes and possibly + 15 minutes)
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
