Would really appreciate any advice. This fridge freezer is approx 4 years old. The fridge suddenly stopped working. I unplugged it and left it for 48hours and then switched it on. It will work for between 3 and 7 days and then the fridge gets warm again. The freezer part (at the top) is working. I have tried adjusting the temps – reducing the freezer from -18 (default) to -14 and the fridge from 3 (default) to 1 to see if this will maintain it for longer. Today it has stopped again. I had an engineer look at it and they were unable to diagnose. I am reluctant to get another engineer out due to the costs involved and the age of the machine. Any advise would be very much appreciated. I can get spare parts through trade and have an engineer who could fit what was required but unfortunately no-one skilled enough to diagnose the fault.

Could you let us have the pnc number on the label with the model number then we can have a look at the manual for you – sounds very much like you have a auto defrost problem in the freezer.

The number will be on the inside of the fridge on a side wall often in the salad tray area.
Re: Electrolux END 5298 – fridge not working
Ok due to unforseen circumstances I have only now been able to access this info – i.e. my hubby working away and just back! The model is END5298X-REP and the Serial No is 51052074 Stream 10. I hope someone can help me as the problem is still there. It will work for approx 1 week then the fridge warms up. It was expensive and I really don’t want to have to buy a new one unless I have to. Thanks in advance 😀

Re: Electrolux END 5298 – fridge not working
PNC number would be of more benefit than model num’ as there are several models with different parts across the range, but the principle of appliance is that it cools the freezer section, a fan then circulates the cold air throughout the freezer & through a channel into fridge via a motorized flap aperature that opens & closes depending on what the settings are. Known problems are fans slowing up or seizing altogether, ice build-up preventing fan from turning, duct from freezer to fridge blockage, flap stuck closed. Freezer door switch being faulty would cause fan not to start also.
Any competant engineer should be able to suss it out quite quickly.
