Servis mo330w-1 help please

[Damo666]

Hi guys. I’ve had this fridge freezer for about 2 1/2 years now. When i returned home from an evening out last week the fridge freezer appeared completely dead as no led’s on the control panel were lit. I turned it off at the mains then turned it on again 5 mins later, then the red(low temperature) led was flashing. I put on the superfreeze function(yellow led) and after some time all appeared to be working. The problem now is that the freezer works fine, but the fridge isn’t working at all. The serial number of this appliance is s/n:20070208832. Can anybody assist me with finding the problem, or would it just be more appropriate to buy a new fridgefreezer please? Cheers in advance. Damian.

These are abit of a problem as from power up it can take up to 45 minutes for the things to start. What I would do first is find out if the fan in the freezer compartment is spinning, this feeds cold are from the freezer into the fridge.

Any idea where the fan in the freezer is please buddy? When i remove all the drawers i can’t see anything apart from a couple of holes with screws recessed in there. Cheers. Damian.

If you remove the screws you see,after pulling the plug out,the back panel will come forward.Not easy but you will then see the fan.The fan doesn’t work until the evaporator temp is down to minus 12c ish.

I’m very, very grateful for your assistance Spimps. At this moment in time things are quite wierd pal, in that the fridge section isn’t working at all. However, the bottom half(freezer section) is very odd in that the top section drawer(uppermost to the fridge) keeps foodstuffs cold. The drawer below keeps things ” half frozen “, and the lowest drawer freezes as is required. Looks like i’m going to consume the contents of my freezer before this attempt. As you quite rightly said though, i cannot hear any fan noise. All i can hear intermittently is a ” gurgling ” noise with an occassional bang. Cheers. Damian.

Re: Servis mo330w-1 FIXED

I’m so, so grateful to all you guys who’ve helped me. Anyway, here’s how i fixed it. I removed all six screws on the panel in the freezer section and it came out. I pulled the fan out of the socket and checked it by connecting it to the mains and it didn’t spin(tried several times)and tripped my rcd. Anyway, i’ve temporarily put the fridgefreezer back together omitting the fan and there are no more bangs, gurgling noises and the compressor sounds very smooth unlike before. I now need to find a replacement fan. The fan looks like an induction or brushless motor and says;512023000, 94095, type f61-10, 220-240v~, 50/60hz, and says MES Swiss made. Any ideas where i can buy one please? Again, many thanks for all your assistance. Damian.
