Same complaint as others in regards to freezer working fridge not working.
We have lived all over the Eastern hemisphere and had 2 fridges which were shipped around with us. Other popular leading makes. Containers, ships, trucks, different climates hot to freezing. They never missed a beat.
Get home to Australia and think that Kelvinator is a good known brand at home and will give it a go.
All this thing has done from new is sit in one place in one house and been expected to do its job.
Very noisy as the manual stated so couldn't complain. In D...Read more
ecember 2022 started making alot more noise so much so the bedroom door had to be shut. Also fridge temperatures were going up and down which is great just before Christmas. It came good again so ok lets see what happens we thought. Still very noisy. Late Feb early March fridge temps changing agin to the point it was ambient temperature in the fridge. Freezer still working. Appliances online were called and of course cannot do anything as it is just out of warranty, what a surprise. They said they put a call through to Kelvinator of whoever needs to know and they would call me. Nothing to date, that was more than a week ago. It is clear that this fridge as an inherent problem indicated by the same complaints just on this site, let alone others. Technicians clearly know there is a fault. In my fridge the condenser keeps icing up, the condenser fan doesn't work, or does intermittently and stops. This blows the cool air from the freezer into the fridge. I had to let the condenser defrost and it froze up itself and the fan. the fan then did then start working again but has stopped again now. The temperature control slides for the fridge and freezer have no feel to them, particularly the freezer so trying to get a setting that works is not possible.

AWEFUL - Avoid - cheap design
I actually exchanged this fridge after 24 hours of use. Appliances online reviews rate this higher BUT there are better fridge/freezer combos out there. So here’s the bad; it’s NOISY compared to any other fridge - it has a hum that sounds like a lawn mower gasping for fuel. I could hear it two rooms away at 5am. It’s finish on the side is poor quality, it’s smooth on the front and rough on the side. It’s huge and there’s a piece of metal towards the back that’s unusual and looks cheap.
Inside - the shelves are cheap and already were struggling...Read more
in the middle with a few items so we were hesitant even putting butter, cheese and jams on the same shelf. When we did put things in, the shelves couldn’t hold the weight and started to sink in the middle. It’s crisp drawer isn’t smooth to pull out. Overall - very poor quality for the price and you could get better for an extra $100. Avoid.

don't waste your money
I bought this fridge less than 12 months ago. In the last couple of weeks the fridge hasn't felt cold. Have bought a thermometer and it is sitting on 13 degrees. Freezer still works fine and it appears others are having same problem with the fridge. This should not happen for a fridge less than 12 months old

Disappointed
Our fridge which we bought 9 months ago broke down. Freezer part still working but fridge temperature does not go below 20 any more. Hopefully just a temperature controller (or a broken fan for which there seem to be other reviews) fix as the compressor is still working. But not a good sign.
For a while I thought we might have been in the same boat as another reviewer who also gave a bad rating on this site and had simular experience. After a day, all of a sudden without any action on our par, it 'activated' and started working. Went back to...Read more
12 degrees at night but next morning was back to 18 and has not been below 20 since. A service request was sent out Tuesday morning; got a call on Thursday the Elecrolux technician is scheduled for Saturday. That is 4 days. When we bought it it took less than 24 hours to deliver.Purchased in March 2021 at Appliances Online for A$860.00.

Bought it in February. Nothing but problems
We feel we bought a lemon with this fridge in February 18. It worked well when first bought then during the night we thought we had a helicopter in the kitchen. Took Kelvinators technician 4 days to come and fix the problem. During the wait it started working again out of the blue after all the food had perished. They tried to say there was nothing wrong with it. Same thing happened twice since. We called again and thankfully they are sending someone else for a second opinion. Hopefully to have it resolved. We still can’t work out what caused the problem.

Amazing fridge
This fridge is create for a family. The design is great lots of space for food fridge side, space for food and containers for fruit and veggies. The freeze is very spacious. And the the doors open and close very easily. I would highly recommend this to anyone that asks.

Awesome big fridge
We absolutely love this fridge. Heaps of room, runs quiet, looks fantastic, doesn't use alot of power. I got the fridge up the top and the freezer down the bottom and I'm really happy with the set up. We can't fault it to be honest and appliance on line delivered it to our home and took the old fridge away. Very happy all round.

My new fridge is not getting cold. Freezer is ok. Any help?

I'd be contacting the seller immediately.
I'm pretty sure it is the same issue I had. The fan stopped working. Call customer service! Cheers
I just thought, have you gone in to the fridge, and slide the temperature things into the middle. The fridge setting may be to low
