598840	2007-10-08 06:50:00	Can't help bk T, but have a tip which might help someone - if they're as unobservant as me... My Kelvinator fridge-freezer was bought from an aunt, who wanted a simple fridge. It was "almost-new," (in contrast with the old clanger I had) and I was delighted with it. But that was more than a decade ago. Several years later, I read somewhere that butter conditioners can use quite a lot of power over time, so should be turned off if not in use. This is a margarine household. I had ignored the butter condioner, so never noticed (It's in a low light spot) that the darn thing had a little moveable switch. And it had been ON for so many years that it must have clocked up a tidy sum on the power bill by then. So my cautionery tale is - if you're not using it, check the on/off switch.	Laura (43)

However we do not seem to have the option to turn off. We keep our cheese in it and keep to the lowest setting. Misty ;)	Misty (368)
598842	2007-10-08 08:15:00	Is the butter conditioner dettachable? I remember F&P fridges having a problem like that, the problem was caused by the contacts not making properly between the butter conditioner and the bit it plugged into. If I remember the fix correctly, you need to pull the terminals down in the upper sockets and secure them, so when you reconnect the conditioner it does not push them back up. If you try this, unplug the fridge first, unless you are into electrical shocks. This part has at least 230V on it. Hope this helps. Jeff.	Jeff (1070)
598843	2007-10-08 19:09:00	From F&P specialist chum................. It's a bit unusual for a butter conditioner to play up like this. There is no thermostat for it. It is either a slide control on the front of the box or a 3 position switch. It is held in by a screw behind it screwed to the side wall of the fridge, some of them don't have the screw, but in any case there is a clip at the top r/h rear of the butter cond box. you have to reach up behind it just where the light bulb fits in, pull the clip backwards and the rear of the box drops down and then you unhook it at the front. When the b/c is fitted into place the two clips at the top make contact with two bus bars inside the thermostat housing. That may be where the problem lies. See how you go. Look at page 48 of the attached book. Regards,	Cicero (40)

598847	2007-10-09 02:25:00	i keep the butter in the pantry. keeps it pretty soft. Will it fit in fridge,if so will give it a try.	Cicero (40)
598848	2007-10-09 02:28:00	it will, but then it wouldn't be soft anymore. the only problem with keeping it in the pantry is when it gets extremely cold in the winter it is a little hard to spread. [edit] I read your reply again.. and i don't quite understand? will it fit in fridge? do you mean will the butter fit in the fridge?	Jimmy D (2061)
