Schreiber APM 6321 SX – Turns on, sounds like it is working to get it cold – after about 5 minutes it goes off again – later it comes back on for about 5 minutes – then off again.
Keeps doing this but no enough to get the temp down below 5c
Any thoughts?
Re: Schreiber APM 6321 SX – on/off/on/off
Is it just the motor thats going on/off, or the whole fridge.
Both fixable but if it’s the motor it would make a mess of £200 to replace.

Well… I open the door, the light comes on, it ‘starts’ with the ‘whirring/ticking’ type noise that fridges make – it does that for around 5 minutes, it does generate some ‘cold’ then goes quiet (light still works) it’s just like it thinks it is at the right temp so stops working.
If I open the door 10 minutes later what little cold the sides had, has gone.
Then a bit later it repeats.

Think this is the same as Hygena/whirlpool integrated,if you look inside at the back you should see what looks like a wire fastened to the back wall of the fridge,this is the thermostat sensor/phial,unscrew it and try running the fridge with it disconnected.
If it runs without shutting off you have a thermostat problem if not its a compressor/system fault.Thermostat is a diy job but comoressor requires an engineer.
If it’s integrated they always benefit from being removed from fittings and given a good clean with a vacuum clean hose underneath.
