Zanussi Electrolux F/F – Fridge warm and strange clicking!!

[Stoods]

Hi Forum Peeps,

My F/F is on the blink and before I rush out and buy a new one (Beko American Style GNEV220 – reviews appreciated!!) can anyone shed any light on the problem. So far I’ve checked the electrics at the back and all are fine. The light works, but the fridge is warm and there’s a clicking noise coming from the rear of the frideg, which is constant but not regular, if that makes sense?

Model No ZX564SI
Type B258886
PN 92588865301
S/N 32100095

Thanks in advance

May be a faulty motor compressor, if it clicks off a few seconds after the motor trys to start.

Thanks for the reply – if this is the fault is it worth fixing and why does the freezer still work??? Thanks again 🙂

Faulty compressors can start sometimes & sometimes click out on thermal overload if they have overheated. Its hard to know what the clicking is without hearing it & inspecting the appliance. Fan in freezer could be catching on ice either, if this was the case a total defrost & start up could cure the problem. Could be a noisy defrost timer clicking either.
Compressor change is a specialist job & not to cheap to be honest.

Hi.

The clicking is most likely the cut outs. The reason for your problem is most likely a failure of the defrost cycle. It could be a jammed defrost timer spindle or indeed a failed defrost heater assembly which on some does incorporate the aforementioned cut outs. The result of the failed defrost cycle is the air duct which carries cold air from freezer to fridge gets blocked by frost causing the fridge temp to rise.
