[MBZ] Fridge update

2014-08-18 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
You might remember a couple weeks ago when I was working on my fridge that 
wouldn't defrost. Well I'm sitting in the living room and I just heard the 
gentle rain of water into the drain pan. The dammed thing just defrosted!

So theory: The timer was stuck. In my troubleshooting I cranked it around a 
couple cycles. At first it didn't want to come back on after I'd cranked it 
around but eventually it played right. I didn't think much of it at the time 
but I'll keep in watch mode now, if it plays up again I'll crank the timer a 
couple more times. If that works I'll replace it.

Enjoy your relative youth and your good hearing.
I would never hear the refrigerator defrosting.

Blame it on the number of videos I've made in the house...

I'd noticed that the fridge wasn't running all the time which is a pretty good 
sign. When its freezing up it runs constantly as the coils freeze up since its 
not putting as much cold into the fridge compartment as it should be, 
especially once it ices over the hole from the freezer into the fridge.

The noise in question was a rather loud drip, the water drops a good 3 from 
the end of the tube to the drip tray. Our house is pretty quiet.
