re Candy CPCA270FFK fridge overfreezing

[ashfordkent]

Hi all anyone come across Candy fridge/freezer CPCA270FFK fridge Side overfreezing water in bottle freezing solid running around -8 deg. Wet wall type. Module control how do you get to the Fridge Sensor / Thermistor if its that. Seems its put into cabinet then insulation added, sensor must dive down inside cabinet and attach to Fridge Evaporator somewhere at back but no obvious way to get out or replace. Any help Cheers

Cheers Chris. See what you mean Crap Design they obviously didnt expect it to fail the fools! Probably customer wont want (hopefully) a chunk of Insulation Removed and repaired with a load of tape to cover finish. post the outcome Peter.

Do you know What resistance you get at module end of thermistor and do you think it may be the Control PCB. Checked freezer section no build up of ice around Evaporator. Freezer section ok Just Fridge side Freezing everthig solid

Think this is the model hoover had problems with and were doing a recall on. The sensor is de-attaching itself from evap, if so unit is scrap really unless you wish to messing around re-foaming. 😀

Re: re Candy CPCA270FFK fridge overfreezing

Ive done quite a few of these recently. Replacing the sensor and refoaming. Its not as bad as it seems (about half an hour- 45 mins max). Had no problems. On a few occasions it has been the board. When its been the board there has been signs like the light dont work even when you replace the bulb, or the fridge wont turn off at the control, or the fast freeze light wont come on/ go off. I find them to be a good little earner. When i tell the customer that the sensor is foamed in because the fridge is badly designed, and it could be a right off except for the fact that i can work out where the old sensor is, cut it out and replace it, saving the fridge, they are very happy. (It makes me look clever too).
