Re: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
no Liebherr engineers on site in the south east, so back to calling Liebherr.
Re: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
yes, called Liebherr they gave me one company to call but the girl didn’t seem that helpful, no engineers to discuss issue with. Ill try the search facility first.
Thanks again for your help.Re: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
Yes lowered box but only a small amount as didn’t want to bend evaporator copper pipe. Its a shame, I’ve fixed many a device in the past but taking this apart seems way over complicated for such an uncomplicated bit of kit. I guess they just don’t want people fixing their own stuff. Anyway happy to get an engineer if I can find one that knows Leibherr which appears after making a few calls, not many do, not near Brighton anyway.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
MikeRe: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
to get into this box properly, ie to remove it to find the fan, I guess you have to somehow disconnect the copper pipe from the evaporator ? that runs round the top of the now exposed box sitting on polystyrene, through a hole in the back of the freezer then down the outside of the freezer to the compressor……I cant see how this can be easily done as the pipe appears to be fully connected all the way…..perhaps I have taken on too much….
Re: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
Hi Managed to push in clips and lower box…….what a bad design that is, seems there was polystyrene from preventing the clips being pushed in easily … I will now try and find the fan..
Re: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
Not sure I’m doing the right thing. I removed the large plastic clip on the rear of the freezer that clamps down the cables, but what I thought were pegs sticking out on the underside, near the front of the box by each clip, turned out to be small removable white plastic bungs. Once removed, I tried sticking a small screw driver in each hole to see if I could release the clips on the side of the box, but not sure what to do…….as the clips seem to be well installed on the box. Any advice ?
Re: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
Ok, sounds like I may have the older model… there appears to be a very small peg on each side, on the underside of the box near the clips, I will have a look tomorrow to see how they come out.
Thanks very much for your input, much appreciated.
MikeRe: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
left freezer off for 60hrs turned on, still noisy, so guess it is fan bearings and not ice build up. Still cant see how to remove box at top of freezer to inspect/replace fan…? seems this full width box about six inched deep, has a large plastic sprung clip on either side of it, but they are difficult to get to, plus I don’t know if that is the correct removal method. Any help would be much appreciated.
MikeRe: noisy Leibherr tall no frost freezer
Hi Bryan, thanks for feedback. it is a freezer only model, ie one door. As mentioned, I have tried that, but maybe 48hours would have been better…?? The freezer is turned off again as of last night, so will give feedback on Monday.
I would however still like to know how to remove the main box to get a look at the fan in case this doesn’t work.
