Zanussi ZX79/5SI freezer problem

[ibzy]

Hi all,

my problem is that the temperature warning light and sound keep coming on at random periods. It must be a freezer problem because it seems to be working but not at a low enough temperature that a freezer should be as the food is very cold but not frozen. The periods as mentioned are random but as an indicator I would say two to three times a day.

thanks in advance.

need pnc number to be more exact, but when the alarm sounds, lights will be flashing

we really need to know what lights are flashing, in what order etc

theres a good chance its the ntc in the freezer, but, again, theres 2 types, and we need the pnc number (on the rating plate behind the salad bin) to be more exact

hope this helps

Hi,

the pnc is 928405921. With regards to the lights it is always just the temperature warning light that flashes (the red light next to the power on button and light).

thanks for the reply. 😀

HMMN, id be inclined to say the ntcs were faulty

have you noticed your fridge temp dropping?(that probably why the temp alrm sounds)

its usually the ntcs to be fair , id hav to recommend a service engineer to fit them , as it does involve removing the cooling evaporator from inside the top of the freezer, and inserting the ntcs in the evaporator, and theres lots of sharp edges

there was a post about this not to long ago, but in all honesty it aint as easy as the guy says, trust me, ive been cut many a time!!

given the quality and price of your appliance, id say it was a worthwhile repair, and would probably cost less than £100 (although, it depends on who u call out, obviously)!

I have only noticed the temperature dropping in the freezer to be honest.
Thanks for the help though, I think I’ll get an engineer in to fix it.

thanks 😀
