- If it is the defroster, most automatic defrosters run on a 4-6 hr cycle, lasting 20-40 minutes in length. During this time, heater elements melt the ice in the evaporator section (inside the freezer)

- Help! We suddenly need a new refrigerator, so am looking to find out which ones are RFI generators and which ones are established as clean. Any input? 73, Jim W6YA _______________________________

- Virtually all electronics runs on some form of SMPS; some products may have variable-speed motor controllers. Most noise is conducted to the power cord, then to house wiring. All of that AC wiring ra

- I won't regurgatate what has already been related. Yes, our new frig/freezer pretty much flattened HF. I had to install a rather robust common mode choke on the line cord. While I can still detect it
