Smeg FAB32QAZ Fridge Freezer not cooling correctly

[kwatt]

Sounds about right.

But without knowing what exact model it is and possibly the serial number, no way to find any parts for it.

So found out from Smeg i had the wrong model number. They were very helpful and gave me the correct one which is FAB32RAZN1

So I’ve ordered a replacement temp sensor to see if swapping out either fridge or freezer sensors fixes the problem. However I’m not sure still this is the cause

it seems sometimes the machine is perfectly happy and can maintain and perform fast freeze very quickly. Then at other times it alarms and both fridge and freezer get warmer and not fast freeze or fast chill seem to help at all!!

So, can anybody out there shed any light on this –

Still trying to get the old girl working, the second repair guy has been great but we might be running out of ideas, without potentially buying the wrong parts.

Replaced both temp sensors in fridge and freezer, did nothing to help. Fridge began working a while after again perfectly for about a week and a half, then back to 9Deg or there abouts when set for 4deg. Freezer has been cool but only -16 or above for ages now.

He has check Gas, perfect amount in it and tried to flush it through to check it wasn’t blocked, all seems to be running correctly and the solenoid to switch between fridge/freezer is working (at least it sounds like it is)

So far we’ve learned – temp sensors are fine and telling the control card the correct temps, he said there is no gas problem or compressor problem.

Any ideas anyone? yesterday as we left the house it kicked in and fridge sunk down to 4deg for a few hours, then out of nowhere it alarmed and was back on 9!

Any help appreciated

Thanks
Mike
