all fridge freezers lifespan of unit around 10 years.the closer you get to the end of life the more sense in replacing with new, more efficient one.

There is a start / run / thermal overload relay on the 3 compressor input terminals that has 3 functions

1. enage the start winding

2. switch to run winding

3. Protect the winding in the event of a bad start or locked compressor rotor.

If it is actually starting but not running at full speed / normal RPM the run capacitor can also be bad.

Unless the compressor is locked up... the cost to repair the unit is worth the expense. The only thing that would be bad news is if the repair person told you the compressor rotor is locked and the compressor needs replaced.

From the symptoms you described you have a compressor run component failure and the the compressor rotor is not locked.

Mould is a bacteria

Clean out the unit and wash the area with a strong soda solution.

Also wash the bottles which will carry the same bacteria

Dry throughly

Have you tried this http://www.franklinchef.com/service_call.html for a service. With the unit being this new, it's under warranty. Your sealed system is warrantied for 5 years. This is why you are having trouble finding someone to work on it plus Franklin Ind. does not want to pay the service company when they are sent the bill. Where are you located. If your close, i'll see what I can do about repairing it for you. Expect to have to pay for service from anyone due to the service company having so much trouble getting paid themselves. Although you should be reimbursed after Franklin pays.

This was copied from Franklin Ind. web sight and this is why no one wants to repair their equipment.

Looks like we are out of luck

Between the cost of the coil, the refrigerant, and the labor, I would say you would probably be paying more than you paid for the cooler ($500). Hope this helps

If you paid by any sort of card then call the card provider to complain to them. They will soon sort it out with the seller.

Hi

Unfortunately there is no way by which you can decrease its temp to 35. All wine coolers have a condenser and it does need to clean out from time to time so that the cooler remains cool- you can clean it and see how it goes, it is a normal maintenance to keep the cooler working cool.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

Gee i wouldn't even take it to the home depot I would put it on the sidewalk with a sign on it saying $50 It would be stolen in 10 mins and there would be no loss. Save fuel man let someone else carry it away for free. you wont get $50 from them but save $30 on fuel
