    Re: Zanussi ZX99/5 Frost free 928405932 – Temp alarm going o

    Finally got an engineer out and diagnosed faulty condenser. As it’s only 18mths old and is the 2nd one we’ve had as 1st one was replaced just inside 12mths (with a lot of resistance from some very rude Zanussi “customer care” people) I’m not prepared to pay out over £200 to have it go wrong again within months(& will NEVER buy their brand again).
    I’ve now gone out and bought Miele seperate fridge & freezer (also Siemens dishwasher as the Hygena one we had died – but at least we got 3yrs out of it – as it was thrown in as a freebie with the kitchen units I’m happy enough with that !)

    Thanks again for the help/advice – hopefully won’t need anymore for some time !

    PS If anyone wants the Zanussi for parts you’re welcome to come and get it – otherwise it’s going to the tip as soon as I get hold of Luton council…

    Hi SL

    Thanks for the advice.
    I’ve not opened up one of these before (I’m into telecoms by trade-so I’m ok with multimeter/PSU’s/PCB’s etc…) – I’m assuming the defrost heater is the bit above the freezer (as you open the door and remove the screws it drops down when pulled forward) – how would I go about testing this ? I’ve not pulled it right out yet.

    If this is then OK where are the NTC’s ?

    Thanks

    Steve

    Thanks Dave – we’re trying to run down the food at the moment as we’d just got the weekly shop in when it started 🙁
    I’ll give it a go and come here again should I need an engineer.

    As an aside – This is great site – I had to replace the element in my oven recently (2nd time in 2yrs) and it was at least a tenner cheaper than I paid out the last time,so I bought a spare for the next time !

    Cheers

    As an update: the temp in the fridge is consistantly 5-7degrees & -5 degrees in the freezer.
    Why would the alarm keep sounding ???

    Does anyone have any suggestions that could help ???
