The Focal Point RD-270REU fridge freezer may not be cooling despite having power due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Improper Thermostat Setting: The thermostat may not be set correctly. It must be adjusted to the desired cooling temperature after the appliance is connected to the mains supply.
2. Restart Timing: If the unit was recently switched off or unplugged, it must remain off for at least 5 minutes before restarting. Restarting it too soon can prevent proper cooling.
3. Ambient and Load Conditions: High room temperature, warm food, large food load, or frequent door opening can prevent the appliance from reaching the set temperature.
4. Ice Build-up: Excessive frost (more than 5mm thick) in the freezer can reduce cooling efficiency. The freezer should be defrosted regularly.
5. Ventilation Issues: Poor ventilation around the appliance can increase energy consumption and reduce cooling performance.
6. Dirty Condenser Coils: Dusty coils at the back of the unit can lower efficiency. These should be cleaned occasionally.
7. Door Gasket Seal: A damaged or dirty door gasket can cause cold air to escape, reducing cooling efficiency.
8. Incorrect Initial Use After Defrost: After defrosting, the appliance must be set to maximum or super frost for 24 hours before freezing fresh food. Failing to do this can prevent proper cooling.
