I have a hoover

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned WARMER WHICH MAKES THE REF COLDER AND VICE-VERSA. SEE?
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
But is probably a common defrost problem The ice build up
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

I require a wiring diagram for the thermostat of a

Not sure about this model but most thermostats have only 3 terminals... 2 live terminals and 1 earth.. The earth is usually the terminal on the main outside frame or body of the thermostat. There is usually a wire from active or the + side of the main terminal block or supply cord. The other terminal usually goes to the compressor. Basically, a thermostat turns the compressor on and off to maintain the temperature in the fridge its just an on / off switch..

Fridge freezer not getting cold and freezing

This issue is frequently seen when the valve that diverts refrigerant between the top compartment and lower compartment is stuck closed.

It is advisable to turn the whole unit off to prevent any further damage within and contacting a domestic appliances service engineer in your area as soon as you can to have the valve replaced and the unit regassed (If neccessary 50/50 if it does or not)

Please also be aware that this can be an expensive repair and in many cases it is more cost effective to replace the unit than get it repaired.

If you elect to replace be sure to buy one with a lengthy warranty as had this unit have been under warranty Hovver will have paid for the repair.

I have a hoover 505

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
Open the freezer and locate the door / light switch. Depress the light switch plunger / actuator and make sure the light goes off and the evaporator fan comes ON. Light stays on and fan does not run = bad door switch.
Next look for signs of ice build up on the back access panel / evaporator coils. Ice block noted on coils and back access panel = evaporator fan problem or possible door switch problem.
Last open the fiberboard cover on the back of the unit and check for massive amounts of lint on the condenser coils and that the condenser fan is running. Blocked condenser coils or condenser fan not running will cause the chassis to be very warm to hot when touched.

If you do not find anything wrong by performing the steps above:
  • Unplug the unit
  • Remove freezer contents
  • Direct an external fan into the freezer compartment for just over 2 hours (manual defrost)
  • Tend to the water mess as needed
  • After 2 hours wipe up any residual water and return the unit to normal service
  • Check to see that the evaporator fan is running.
After a 2- 4 days look again for any signs of ice build up on the evaporator coils. If you note ice beginning to build up on the evaporator coils there is a problem with the automatic defrost circuit.
Possible automatic defrost failure causes:
1. Defrost Control
2. Defrost heater
3. Thermistor (if so equipped)
4. Defrost thermostat

That is pretty much it runs all the time but does not cool troubleshooting. You should find something out of the ordinary by following the steps above.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

My hoover hfa29k fridge freezer originally started

1. is light on in side when you open the door. If not check breakers or fuses.
2. Can you hear the compressor running. If not do you hear any clicking sounds.
3. If you hear clicking sounds, try putting a fan on compressor and unplug refrigerator.
4. Wait one hour.
5. plug back in. If compressor starts let it run and see if it cools, if it doesnt, call service man.
6. If it goes back to clicking, call a service man.
Try this and let me know.
