Hi,
I have a Zanussi ZKR 59/39R Fridge Freezer, approximately 8 years old.
It has been making a very strange ‘gurgling’ noise, and the fridge keeps freezing at the back. I have to keep changing the temperature up and down to get the compressor? motor? appliance? to ‘switch off’ so that it stops running for a short time and ‘defrosts’ the fridge.
It is recommended that the appliance is kept at setting 3 or 4, but regardless of which number it is set at, the temperature continues to drop in the fridge until the back freezes over. My freezer is also frosting up extremely quickly. I defrosted it only last week and already there is huge ice build up in the freezer.
I have changed the thermostatic regulator at a cost of £22, but this has in no way solved any problem! It is almost as though the fridge/freezer is constantly running even when it is cold enough and should switch itself off. The compressor at the back of the fridge is very very hot. I have no clue if there is another part I can try to fix this, or if we are going to have to cut our losses and buy a new fridge/freezer (baby was due 3 days ago so money is tight so not the best timing lol!)
I have searched and searched the internet for an answer to our problem, but to no avail. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Lorna
Re: Zanussi ZKR 59/39R Fridge Freezer help needed please!
I would suspect you have a small refigerant loss which could be topped up but you will need an engineer,the compressor runs constantly but never switches off and creates ice buld up in the fridge,it hasn’t enough gas in the sysytem to reach around to were the sensor sits so runs constantly and doesn’t defrost.
