Best Hisense Side by Side Fridges / Refrigerators

I love this fridge. Before purchasing, I spent an hour looking at every single fridge freezer in my local store, must have looked at 50 models from… Read more

every brand. This model stood out to me out of all of them. I liked the look, the layout, the size and the features. I thought the drawers and shelves were organised well. I liked it had an ice maker and water dispenser - specifically non-plumbed, as I had read getting your fridge plumbed to mains water can introduce a lot of risk of both flooding and breakdowns.

I’ve had the fridge over a year now and it’s just awesome.

One time the water/ice dispenser stopped working. You pressed your glass/cup to the paddle and nothing would happen. No whirring, no sound, no response at all. Like the electro-switch that detects when the paddle is pushed had broken. I’m a handy guy, so i turned off the fridge at the power point and removed the dispenser. I got to the little switch and tested its output with my multimeter, and bizarrely there was nothing wrong with it. Puzzled, i refitted the switch and paddle and turned the fridge back on at the power point. I pressed the paddle with my fingers and lo and behold it was working again. I have a feeling, seeing as this fridge has WiFi etc, that what had actually happened was the software glitched out in the fridge and like a computer or phone that is malfunctioning it needed to be rebooted / just turned off and on again.

It hasn’t happened since, if if happened again, Hopefully that fixes it once more.

Awesome fridge though!
