Periodically my fridge warms up but the freezer is still working. You have to take the cover off the inside and defrost this supposedly frost free machine. We have just done it again and now, four days later, the red warning light keeps coming on saying that the freezer temperature was not correct. The food is frozen solid and the fridge is cool again. The manual doesn’t tell you in what way it is not correct and what to do about it. My last fridge freezer burst into flames for no apparent reason and burnt the house down (we hadn’t touched it in any way!). I don’t want the same thing to happen with this one.
So, does anyone know why the red light keeps coming on and what to do about it? It is dangerous?
I would be sooo grateful for some advice.Re: Servis M0330S fridge freezer advice needed please
Ok – Fully electronically controlled appliance with a mechanical flap type fridge thermostat. So all cooling is in the freezer area and cold air is ducted into the fridge by the fan in the freezer. The flap in the fridge opens and closes as required. The freezer ‘cold plate (evaporator)’ temperature is controlled by an electronic sensor and for defrosting a small heater is switched on when required to clear this plate of ice. To ensure that the heater does not get too hot a fuse is in the circuit. Usual reasons for overfreezing, door is not being closed properly, fuse has blown, heater is defective, sensor is duff, ducts are blocked with ice or you are short of refrigerant. Red light just indicates that the f/f is outside of its selected temperature. There are two versions so if you post the serial number, which will begin with 9 or 2 I’ll add more info if required.
