Model Number: Siemens KG33NA10GB/02
Hi. I have got what appears to be a pretty common problem. Two days ago the fridge compartment of my frost free fridge freezer stopped getting cold. The compressor is definately working and the freezer compartment is also working as normal. From what I can ascertain the fan that moves the air from the freezer into the fridge is not working, possibly due to ice build up?. I turned off the unit, to allow it do defrost. When I pulled it out from the wall I noticed that the hose which comes out from the bttom of the freezer into the evaporation basin was blocked so no water was draining into the basin. Could that have caused the problem? I am looking at the freezer compartment where the fan may be but I can’t get the cover off as it seems to be stuck in place, possibly by the ice?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, DaveRe: Siemens Frost Free Fridge Freezer not working.
I’ve started to defrost the freezer as I have noticed that there is a lot of ice inside the intake fan assembly in the freezer compartment (pic 1). I’ve taken a look at the drainage hose and i can’t see any water coming out of the water drain from the freezer (pic 2) which seems odd as I thought it would be quite wet as the freezer defrosts? I suppose all I can do now is wait for it to defrost and free up the fan?
best, Dave
Re: Siemens Frost Free Fridge Freezer not working.
My fridge is now working again. Basically I took the advice from another post on here and left the fridge freezer to defrost for 36 hours. I then took out the heater and fan assembly and tested them. The heater showed continuity but the motor did not. Therefore I decided that the fridge wasn’t working as the fan coil had burned out. However, with nothing to lose I reassembled everything and turned the fridge on and it worked. I can only assume that there is some kind of switch or sensor inside the motor that makes/breaks a the supply to the motor and under certain conditions you get an open circuit reading on a perfectly good motor.
