Temprature control Helloo.i own this Fisher n Paykel frost free fridge..The temprature gage is from 1-7...what is the best temprature to keep veges, fruits, meat n other things so that it doesnt get too hard or to prevent water from dripping all over..when i put the temprature too high all my veges, egg n other things in the cooler gets too hard...when i put it as low water starts dripping off..meaning theres water underneah the vegetable tray...its confusing on which level to keep from 1-7 so that everyth is normal and this problem is solved...please assist

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from MISC to one of the Fisher Paykel categories

If it is at roughly 6 hour intervals, it sounds like an issue with the auto-defrost heater system. Probably a short to the case. Look for chaffed wiring or better to replace.

it sounds like your thermostat is not working it may need to be replaced.

Control board has gone bad....

What happens is the defrost is controlled electronically from a circuit board, when this goes bad, the freezer quits defrosting, and freezes the fans that circulate air through the fridge side of things.

To check this, unplug the entire fridge, leave the freezer open, wait for it to defrost a bit, if this causes the fridge to start cooling again when you plug it back in, then its the defrost. You should also see ice crystals on the back of the freezer just under the icemaker.

check and test fan

Hello,
If Frost is there in the fridge, either you can press the defrost button ( normaly red color button with temprature control nob) or you may turn if off for some time.
Thanks

more than likey a provisions compartment fan ,(fridge compartment) symptoms include temprature stratifcation( where product freezes in lower part of refrigerator eg: crisper draws and top shelf warmer....
fan may appear to be functioning but broken wire may cause intermittent operation ..you can test these fans remove fan ...and test with square 9 volt battery or 12volt d.c supply....i hope this could be of use
ozzie fridge tech...;)

Either the temprature control is malfunctioning or the cold air duct dampers stuck up due to forsting. Switch off the refrigerator for 3 hours and restart.

We fixed the leak by putting a pipe cleaner down the hole inside the fridge, at the back. This cleared the tube as it had gunk and grime blocking it. Now the water can run freely down the tube and into the drip tray which is at the back of the fridge above the motor.

I can't help but wonder if the light is staying on... :)

It certainly sounds like a door seal, but did they replace the thermostat, or is that what you mean when you say sensor?
