Ah poo. So, 4 sensors to check, and 1 solenoid. And even the fridge evaporator sensor requires access to the PCB? I saw a hack which cut the wire, throw away the old sensor part, attach the new sensor (cutting and stripping the wire) then ‘waterproofing’ it (where the wire was cut) with heat-shrink plastic – this avoids having to mess with connections to the PCB. But the solenoid is just a headache.

…that’s a lot of diagnostics, yes maybe I’ll start shopping around for a new (non Miele) fridge as plan b 🙁

Thanks for the response Tony,
I see where the index number is, mine is a: 164 21C. Are the parts you listed compatible?

We’ve stopped using the “super freeze” function since we defrosted the fridge. But the other half turned it on a few hours ago and I noticed my thermometer in the freezer was past it’s rated -30d C (the needle was way past that, and everything was super cold, I assume it’s around -40d C or colder in the freezer. Isn’t the super freeze supposed to stop when the freezer reaches the set temperature on the panel?). Alas the fridge wasn’t affected, it remained between 7 and 9d C

Also, where is the 2 sensors in the fridge? I assume it’s in the panel where the fan is, do I just try and pry it open? (I do hate screwless panels with just clips!)
Thanks again
B
