I was unable to find the exact readings the sensor should run at but I have tested the sensor with the reading around 6.5K ohms in warm water and about 16.5K ohms in ice cold water. So looks like it is working fine. As I found a youtube video of one that looks very similar stating this is what I should be getting.

Sounds like as Tony stated it is a refrigeration fault. I just wanted to come back with an update and to thank again all that helped much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Thanks Tony and tubafan for your comments most appreciated.

I don’t know if it is air cooled but the back inside wall does get cold but not enough to make the whole fridge cold enough as the sides don’t feel cold.

I have decided to switch it off to let it settle down and if anything is iced up to let it melt. Will see if it improves.

Thanks Dave so that sensor goes all the way to that board? If so why is the spare part only 270mm doesn’t seem long enough. (https://www.bekospares.co.uk/fridge-freezer/bcfd173-7519520005/temperature-sensor-gli31-cable-270mm/product.pl?pid=1629730&path=634348&model_ref=11946611)

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Going by the length of cable on the part (270mm) I guess the board is behind the side panel. Is removing the whole metal side panel the only way to get to it? If so do you have a page like you posted above mention how to do this?

Thanks for all your help so far.

Thanks again Dave. Is this from some sort of service manual?

That only exposes the sensor. It seems the only way to test it is to remove the side panel and unplug from the board it is plugged into. Or am I missing a trick?

Thanks

Thanks Dave I have been reading about this test but didn’t know what the readings should be so thanks for posting.

Do you have any idea how to remove the side panel if this turns out to be the faulty part?

Thanks

Bert
