Re: Electrolux ERF2830 what cools the fridge?

I don’t think it can be the thermostat as the compressor is running continuously.
I have got the circuit diagram for it and as nor by says there are no valves in the coolant, so must be loss of gas.
It’s almost exactly 10 years old so it’s done OK, but I think replacement is probably the way to go.

Re: Neff S5456 not drying and long cycle time

Success! I managed to get the pressure chamber apart and remove the considerable amount of yack inside it. Cycle time and drying has now returned to normal.

The gunk in the water matrix is still there, but I can’t see a way of getting it out, or how that bit works.

Thanks for the advice.

Re: Neff S5456 not drying and long cycle time

Hose at the front was a bit gunky but not blocked.

In the top LH corner of the water matrix there is a large gunked up area – it is away from the air vent, appears to be at the top of the loop of water channel which comes up, round and goes back down again.

I can’t imagine how I would get at this to clean it, is it possible?

Also the part described as “Pressure Chamber” at the bottom of the water matrix has a considerable amount of gunk in it, looks like the only way to get at this is to remove the water matrix (which is full of water), is that the case?

I have put a photo of the gunked bit at:

Thanks for help so far!

Re: Neff S5456 not drying and long cycle time

To add some more symptoms to my above post:

I opened the dishwasher at the time I would expect it to complete the cycle, and it had no water in, but the pump was running. It has washed the dishes, which are warm, so it seems to have at least started the cycle correctly.

The timer shows 1 minute and remains on 1 minute. However if I leave it it will finish eventually.

It seems like it thinks it has water in when it hasn’t?
