    Hello,
    I have an Electrolux ENF2440AOW refrigerator, PNC 925 993 055-02.
    For 3 days, the refrigerator went crazy (the warranty has ended, of course) ...

    The freezer keeps you cool and the fridge does nothing.
    I tried to rummage through the instructions, move the slider from max to min and the knob from 1 to 7.
    I turned off the electricity, checked if the seals were tight (if it really mattered at all).

    I do not know about it, unfortunately, and I will be grateful for any hints of what it may be.

    Hello,
    Maybe the thermostat from the refrigerator is damaged and does not turn on the aggregate (if you have two independent).

    Maybe you can write something about the temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer sections.

    The top of the refrigerator is ambient temperature - warm. Downstairs - yesterday the fridge went crazy and was freezing hard. Ice and frost on the drawers and doors. I took it all off, wiped it off. Today you could say that the bass just works, and the treble - not at all. Yesterday we took the thermostat out for a test - then no part of the refrigerator worked.

    Please check if the fan in the freezer compartment works when the freezer door switch is pressed, if not, the fan may be damaged

    And where is such a fan located?
    You will just hear that something is walking inside, do you have to open something and see it?

    When you open the freezer door and press the freezer light switch, you should hear it, as it activates when both the freezer and refrigerator doors close. The fan is on the back wall of the freezer or in the duct between the freezer and the refrigerator, cold air is blowing from the freezer to the refrigerator.

    We have no light in the freezer. It's just at the top in the fridge. Is it possible to check this fan somehow?
    There is no cold air blowing in the refrigerator. Generally nothing blows there. It's only cold in the freezer.

    There is a switch on the periphery in the freezer, such as in the refrigerator, which turns off the light in the refrigerator, that is, a pin that presses the freezer door in. If the refrigerator door is open and this pin [switch] is pressed, the fan should turn on. In normal operation, the fan turns on when both doors are closed, so we have to press this switch with the freezer door open. If you cannot hear the fan, it is probably frozen or damaged.

    I checked. When the light in the refrigerator is turned off - the fan turns on. However, from the openings where cold air should blow - something is blowing, but it is not cold ...

    We ordered a thermostat because someone advised us with this refrigerator.
    However, for several days the condition of the refrigerator seems to have improved (the thermostat will arrive in 2 weeks).
    The freezer is ok and the fridge has started to cool. Not as good as normal, but still cools ...

    Try to defrost the refrigerator completely, if the fan is running, it looks like the fan ducts may be frosted and the cold air from the freezer has difficult access to the refrigerator

    Can "No frost" refrigerators be defrosted? Nothing will happen to her?

    You can defrost it and it will be fine, then dry it and turn it on again. Nothing can happen to her because what would happen if she was disconnected from the power supply for longer.

    Provided that you do not defrost it with a pot of boiling water.

    In the end, we got a new thermostat, and it took a while ... We defrosted the refrigerator, it stood a bit, I washed it all, and then we installed the thermostat. Fridge it works !! Thank you very much to everyone for every, even small, advice. You saved my refrigerator ;)
