    Hey folks,
    Just had the freezer guy in on Thursday and he fixed our Zanussi Electrolux ZEBF 249W as there was no cold air flow into the fridge section of the unit.
    He said that dust in the air had collected in a valve and it has become blocked with sludge from condensation. Which part of the fridge that was blocked I don’t quite remember unfortunately.
    Even more unfortunately, the fridge is warm today, and full of perishables after a shop on Thursday evening.
    I know how to access the different parts of the fridge, but need someone to tell me where I should be directing my attentions and how to go about unblocking the valve/unknown part (condensate? drip?), and how I should go about not letting this happen again too frequently in the future…
    Many thanks in advance for your expert advice.
    James.

    Fridge is cooled by cold air being blown up from the freezer area. If the ducting is obstructed, or the fan is not running/cycling correctly, the fridge will not cool.

    There is no “valve” as such.

    Think you need to get him back again :rolls: .

    Had a look inside again. Constructed some kind of pipe cleaner to clear any obstructions but still to no avail. We’ll just have to wait until Tuesday and drop perishables to our neighbours. Thanks for the reply.
