    Quiet and roomy

    published

    Had the fridge for 4 weeks. VERY happy. No noise. was concerned about this as lots of reviews complain about it....mine is totally quiet. Lots of shelf space. Spacious crispers keep veges fresh. The freezer drawers are large. make sure you push doors closed properly. Serial number is on side panel at back, low down, so make sure you record this b4 the fridge is pushed into place. You need it for the warranty. So far I love my fridge.
    shelf layout and spacious. freezer below. very quiet.
    the handle should be a bit higher as the space in the toppart of the handle is a bit narrow.

    reasonable fridge

    published

    bought february 2011 for $1370. has been working well so far. have noticed a decrease in electricity bill. former fridge was a f&p 514 litre which lasted 15 years before getting ice build up. Nice looker in white it makes noises like someone with a digestive problem but are not too intrusive.vegies don't seem to last long in the crispers - there are humidity control slides to help. freezer is good with sliding drawers. we watch what we buy now because big items or leftovers do not fit in the freezer but there is lots of room for smaller stuff.a family would need more space but its good for the 2 of us.
    compact,nice design, no wasted space, sturdy shelving
    egg holders only hold 10 eggs so have 2 over.

    Sold as Stainless Steel "look" Paid as if Stainless Steel, got it home and it is aluminium and so soft any slight bump and it dented, Wife went totally nuts over the finger prints overall not a good experience as with other F and P products I have purchased
    Looks nice, upside down design is good, adjustable shelving good.
    Bottom door shelf drags on interior holding door open, Butter storage doors fall off, cooling fans fail, vegetable crisper should be called soggy vegy drawer. Finally power board fails and cyclic defrost element melts inside of fridge cabinet

    ActiveSmart E442BLE (White, Left Door)

    Our E442BLE seems to be very noisy. Compressor is quiet but when running there is a pronounced girgling rattling sound. Is this a noisy heat exchanger, gas noise or could it be a malfunction in a fan. Noise does not come from items in fridge. Fridge and freezer temps are Ok but fridge seems to run a fair bit. Can someone please help?

    Hi Ian, my fridge is still new and I'm not sure what the problem may be with your fridge, is it something that has just started to occur? Hopefully it is still under warranty then it would be simple enough to get a professional to look at it. Sorry I can't offer much of an answer apart from get a service person to look at it. I had an old Fisher Paykal that the compressor wore out, did a bit of searching on the web to see if there was filters I could clean etc. but in the end, in my case, it was beyond my capabilities to rectify and bit the bullet and got someone out, if only to tell me I should by a new fridge.
