Cooper Cooler hc01 is not
Sorry to say but these products are absolute JUNK. The company won't support you or fix it. It's only a motor, circuit card and touch pad yet the life expectancy is about 4 uses. Disposable item sad to say. Junk it in the trash and post negative feedback/reviews on Amazon or anywhere you can to help others avoid this brand product.
Kenmore Elite won't cool.
How to trouble shoot
Kenmore Elite is a who range of appliance, but as you are in Kenmore Refrigerators category, let's assume it's that. All questions need full 'make model (what it is)' first 3 words please.
The only easy thing to do would be to make sure the condenser fins are clear of fluff, the compressor is running, the compressor fan is running and the internal circulation fan is running. If it is a fridge with freezer above, a blockage at the back of the freezer due to a failed defrost heater can cause an issue where no cold air drops into the fridge.
The other possibility is low refrigerant gas, but that is not something you can rectify yourself.
Check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty-if the condenser coils are dirty, clean them. Verify the freezer temperature is set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15 Celsius). Verify the refrigerator temperature is set between 34 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 5 Celsius).

Which one is best for floor granite or marble?
Granite and Marble are the most commonly used natural stone in the interiors and exteriors of your home. When we compare Granite vs Marble, the texture, colour and appearance plays major role in determining the type of stone. Here are some differences between marble and granite, which may help you in selection process.
Granite:
1. Hard rock material, tough and more resistant to absorbs
2. You will be amazed after seeing the patterns and colors of nature (
black granite kitchen worktops is best and evergreen)
3. Can be used directly after purchasing from the shop
Marble:
1. Soft rock
2. You need to lay the Marbles then polishing process will start. Initial laying process is more than granite and tiles
3. Advantage is if you feel flooring lost it's shining then you can do polishing one more time so that you will get the first look.

My inside light keeps blinking on my side by side fridge when you open it. How do we fix that?
Question edited for clarity and typos.
All question need full 'make model (what is is) as first 3 words. That enables us to research the answer instead of providing generic educated guesses.
Blinking or flashing is normally indicative that you fridge is more modern and has an LED Light instead of a standard incandescent screw-in bulb. If that is the case, the whole LED light and Module needs replacing.

My True beer cool stopped cooling last night what
That is a broad question. Lets do a checklist. When you plug the unit in the compressor behind the grill on the front should come on and the fan in front of the compressor should come on. The radiator in the compressor compartment needs to be clean from all dust and grease. Many times this is overlooked and can cause real problems by letting the compressor overheat. Now look inside and find the fan cover. It hangs from the inside top of the cooler. It should also be running. If either fan is not running the unit will not cool. Sometimes there is an obstruction, such as someone pushing a six pack up against the fan cover and pushing it into the fan. The fan down by the compressor is sometimes blocked by the cardboard shroud that is built around the fan. Also in a few cases rodents have gotten caught in that fan. If everything is running, you will have to look deeper into the compressor compartment. There is a screw in the front of the radiator that hold the compressor unit in the cooler. Unplug the unit from the wall. Remove that screw and slowly and carefully pull the compressor unit towards the front of the beer box. It will slide almost all the way out. You will see a coil of copper tubing at the back of the compressor that allows enough slack in the lines to slide this unit out. When you push this unit back in it helps to have someone behind the cooler to pull back on that coil as you push the unit back into the machine so it does not get crimped. With the compressor unit pulled out, plug it back in at the wall. If your compressor is running and you have proper amount of refrigerant, the small copper tube from the compressor to the radiator will get very hot, enough to burn your finger, after two or three minutes. After 10 minutes the larger copper line that is usually enclosed in a rubber sheathing should get cold. One way to know if you have a burned out compressor is to listen to the compressor and fans when you first plug into the power outlet. A bad compressor will usually try to start for 2 or 3 seconds and then click out. While it is trying to start the fan will slow down because the compressor is pulling way too many amps and is pulling power away from the fan until it clicks out again. If you can hear the compressor come on and run but it makes no heat to the radiator, you probably have a refrigerant leak. Your freon is gone or almost gone. If it was a slow leak you would usually notice that the cooler does not seem to cool like it once did. If it was working good and suddenly stopped cooling, the most likely problem is a bad compressor. Changing a compressor is usually beyond the average do it yourselfer because it requires welding the unit in place and gauges and a supply of refrigerant which is almost impossible to get without a liscense. Let me know what you find out.
Front flap not swinging or closing when switched off
Hello Rose
All questions need full 'make model (what is is)' as the first 3 words.
You posted to refrigerators category. There are 40,000 channels to choose from.
This sounds like a split system AC / Heat Pump. If so the actuator motor needs replacing. I have the same issue, but mine is stuck closed.

E4 code for lower chamber of danby wine cooler
I had the same problem on my DWC513BLS wine cooler (12 years after your original post). I fixed mine after much troubleshooting. If someone have a similar problem, here are the error codes for that unit :E4 = Defrost sensor defectE3 = Defrost sensor disconnectedE1 = Lower chamber sensor disconnectedE2 = Lower chamber sensor defectE7 = Upper chamber sensor disconnectedE8 =Upper chamber sensor defectTo correct E4, I had to replace the defrost sensor with part #DWC276.
