Liebherr fridge problem – Ice on tube from compressor

[carlosdmpereira]

Hello,

Happy NEW YEAR!

I have a Liebherr refrigerator 7085538 – 00 with the following problem:

1) The temperature does not drop the 4ºC (measured with and external fridge thermometer), even if the temperature is set to 1ºC.
Apparently the food is quite fresh and the freezer works well.

2) In the refrigerator back I have found some water on the floor. The water was coming from a tube (suction?) from the compressor that was completely wrapped in ice (photo in dropbox link). Probably problem 1) is related with this.
Is it necessary to put some sort of “thermal sleeve” around this tube to protect it and avoid the formation of ice?

Is there someone that can help me with this pleeeeeease ?

Regards,

That looks like a severe case of backfrokting and it’s a refrigerant system issue that you will need a fridge tech to look at, it’s not a DIY thing at all.

Insulation will make no difference to that.
