Loose handle
There is a long vertical handle held to the door by two short horizontal pieces. Run your finder along the under side of the two short pieces and feel for a very small indentation under each one. Each one is a set screw with an Allen head. Insert a small Allen wrench (English not Metric -- I don't know the size, but it is probably the next to the smallest in the set) into each one and back them out (counterclockwise looking up at the screw). The big vertical handle should come off when you back the Allen screws out far enough Now look into the short pieces sticking out from the door. Inside each one is a Philips screw holding the piece to the door. Tighten those screws with a small Philips screw driver making sure that the indents on the front of pieces will align with the vertical bar when you put it back on. When the Philips screws are tight, put the vertical bar back on and tighten the Allen screws. If you have some Loc-Tite, you might use that as well.
Fan turns on then off
Hello,
Insufficient cooling is a fridge repair job that you can do without the help of a professional. Often the fridge has a frost-free failure, or the compressor is faulty but there are many other reasons for a fridge not cooling properly.
Step 1 – Find the Problem
Your first job is to locate the source of the problem. Consider each of the following:
* Gaskets - Make sure the gaskets/seals are not torn and are sealing properly.
* Evaporator fan – Make sure it is working. If it is now working you may have a problem with the fan motor. Check for power to the motor and also examine the fan switches around the door (not all fridges have these switches).
* Air damper – Sometimes the air damper will not open up to allow the cold air from the freezer part to blow into the fridge section.
* Condenser coils – Check to see that the condenser coils don’t have a dust build-up and that the condenser motor is working.
* Compressor – Make sure your compressor is working with on and off clicking noises.
Step 2 – Frost-Free Failure
This is the most common cooling problem in fridges. Expose the evaporator coils by accessing the panel in the freezer section. The coils in the freezer section can sometimes get clogged up with frost. This can stop the evaporator fan motor from blowing cold air around, or cause the fan to hit it and stop, or become noisy. The defrost timer can be a bit tricky to find but it is usually located behind the back bottom corners of the fridge, although they can sometimes be found in the ceiling of the fresh food section, or behind the cold control cover.
Step 3 – Find the Timer
When you find the timer, turn the wheel-like screw slowly with a screwdriver until the fridge shuts off. The refrigerator is now defrosting. If you find that the fridge starts now, you will need to replace the defrost thermostat and the defrost timer.
Step 4 – Volt Test
If the heaters do not come on, use a volt meter to ohm test the defrost heater or volt test for 120 volts to the heater. You can bypass the defrost thermostat if you haven’t got power to the defrost heater to check if the defrost heater will come on. To bypass the thermostat, join the two wires together. Replace the defrost thermostat and the defrost timer if the heater comes on now.
If there is a ticking or squealing noise in the defrost timer, or it seems hot to touch, replace it.
Many fridges have and inline fuse on both sides of the defrost heater. You will need to replace the whole heater if one of those fuses blows. Check these fuses with a volt meter if the defrost heater doesn’t work.
A quick check if you have a cooling problem is to inspect the evaporator coils. If there is a build up of white snow on the coils, this indicates a frost free problem; if there is balled ice on part of the coils with the rest bare, this indicates a system problem, like a problem with the pumping compressor.
Take care.....
The Marvel 68AR Serial 06090-5018 does not
It sounds as if the thermsitor (temperature dependent resistor used to detect temperature) has failed. You can order a replacement direct from the factory 800-223-3900. PN 42244531 - It used to come with instructions. If you need further assistance, drop me a line. - Subdriver
PS There is one other cause that can lead to similar symptoms: if the unit has a freon leak is is low on charge, it will develope heavy frost on the left wing of the evaporator plate and none on the right and will run almost continously when turned on. This is due to the control senses the plate temperature and not the air temperature. If the frost pattern covers all (or most) of the evaporator plate when running, then my original diagnosis stands.
I have Marvel 6bar beverage
If light work but not running at all, then change the temp control (thermostat). If compressor and condenser fan motor are running but not cooling, then you have sealed system problem
