Arctic Wind Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my model one of these?

The table lists every model number the label covers. Check the rating plate against it; if the number is not there, this is the wrong page.

Do the models in this family differ for this fault?

They sit close enough in the numbering to be the same basic construction, so the shortlist below applies across the roster.

Could a power cut have caused this?

It can. A compressor that restarts against pressure may trip its overload repeatedly, and a control board can come back up in an odd state. Unplugging for several minutes and restoring power is a fair first move.

How long should the cabinet take to recover after the door is left open?

A few hours for a full cabinet in a warm room. Judging a machine twenty minutes after a long door opening will make a healthy one look faulty.

Should I turn the thermostat colder?

It will not help and it can hurt. A machine that cannot reach its current setpoint will simply run longer against a colder one, which costs power and compressor life for nothing.
