Re: Bosch KGU3201 stopped working

Hi John
Well I went down and turned it on. I did notice a few clicks and then it settled down. We set the temperatures as suggested and then after a short time it started making a terrible clattering nice form the compressor area. I was going to leave it for 15 minutes as suggested but was concerned it was unsafe to leave it as it definitely didn’t sound right.
I turned it off left it a few minutes and turned it on again. All seemed better until about 30 seconds later when the noise was even worse than the first time.
I am unsure if moving it around to get behind it has made things worse but will attempt to attach two files which capture the sounds once turn on.
I am not hopeful!
Thanks
Aidan

ps have tried a few times but cant seem to upload video files…

Re: Bosch KGU3201 stopped working

Brilliant to have you to help John.

I turned it off a while back when we realised everything was defrosting. Because we didn’t check it on a daily basis I am unsure how quickly it stopped working. It was really being used for keeping wine and beer cold, and overflow from what wouldn’t fit in our day to ay FF but really useful – especially for parties or having lots of family at Xmas etc.

When we turned it one again it just would not get cold. I am going to turn it on again in the next few days and report back on sounds and whether the fan in the freezer section is moving. Should I leave it on for say a minimum period of time (30 mins, 1 hour, 24 hours etc) before reporting back on sounds and fan movement?

Many thanks again

Aidan
