Re: Subscription Renewal
not that old chestnut jim??
isn’t that the 2nd most told fib?actually tracy, i haven’t had mine and don’t think i pay by bacs.
Re: Liebherr freezer not cool enough
sorry, just seen this thread.
it sounds like the frost free element of your freezer isn’t working properly, ie not defrosting.
this could be attributable to:-
the sensor, the components on the defrost circuit, ie heater and/or thermostat, or just a blocked drain hole in the freezer.
it could also be down to the fan, but this is unlikely.
depending on your level of competency, these things are accessed by removing the rear panel in the freezer.
it does sound like engineer time though, to be honest.cheers.
Re: admiral GC2227CDFB FRIDGE FREEZER please help
The fridge works directly from the freezer. If the fridge isn’t working then you have another problem.
Is the evaporator fan running in the freezer?
Tricky to say over the net, how long has the fridge been running since you changed the disc in the relay?Re: Liebherr c5056 defrosting
Hello John, if you could supply the service no. That might help.
It sounds like the power board at fault.
A handful of liebherr appliances would cool down and then sit there doing nothing. Switching off and on reset the electronics and the appliance would work for a little while again.
Not sure if yours is one of these models though.
It’s very good of liebherr to supply parts foc, you wouldn’t get that with many manufacturers.Cheers.
Re: GC2224GEKB Fridge not working / Leaking
The heater sits at the bottom of the evaporator assembly. If you look at it closely, you’ll see the element come up the left hand side and you should be able to trace the wires to find the connectors to be able to test the heater.
I think you’ll just be looking for a reading to be honest. In the main, they go open circuit, although I have had one go short and so in that instance the appliance needed a new pcb as well.
We actually cover the south Manchester area, so if you get stuck, give us a call.Cheers.
Re: Miele Fridge Freezer Fridge problem
Hello Edwin, sorry that you’re not H.A.P.P.Y with your fridge and so that you don’t go to WAR with it, I thought I’d make CONTACT to try and help.
Sorry 😳
The fridge will almost certainly be worth saving. That model will have been made by liebherr.
Depending on the frost pattern on the evaporator, it will more than likely be an evaporator sensor fault.
If the frost on the evaporator is just at the top and not even, then you would be unlucky and have a system fault, ie compressor or gas levels, but the sensor is much more likely.
This shouldn’t cost you the earth, certainly it will be a viable repair.Cheers.
Re: GC2224GEKB Fridge not working / Leaking
Hello, the trick is in identifying the faulty component.
That’s the real skill in this job. Fitting parts is easy and I’m sure, with the greatest of respect, fitting a defrost heater is well within your capabilities.
Do you have a meter? Can you check the heater? If not, then you can’t guess and it sounds like it’s engineer time.
I wouldn’t like to put a figure on the job as it would obviously depend on the firm’s call out costs, but also the source of the spare part.
Have you used the engineers search facility on this site?
Where in the country are you?Cheers.
Re: GC2224GEKB Fridge not working / Leaking
Hello, the appliance isn’t defrosting the evaporator like it should do regularly.
It does this by way of a heater which sits underneath all the ice in your pic!
Likely cause is the heater itself, although you could be unlucky and it be the pcb.
The water issue is just likely to be a blocked drain hole or pipe.Cheers.
Re: admiral GC2227CDFB FRIDGE FREEZER please help
It’s obviously in defrost mode then now.
Keep it on and it should fire up after about 20 mins. Alternatively you could advance the defrost timer to run mode.
If its not tripping the electrics and you’ve taken the heater out of the circuit, then it looks like you’ve answered your own question there.Re: admiral GC2227CDFB FRIDGE FREEZER please help
if it only runs for an hour then it may not be running long enough to turn off on it’s own.
main causes of a fridge like this tripping the electric are defrost heater and compressor.
with the information we have so far, it could be either.
you could unplug the heater to see if it tripped after an hour. if it still trips then it’s likely to be the compressor.
a compressor change is a specialised repair and you will need an engineer.Re: Finding the sensor, 9590142 – Liebherr Fridge
hello martin, you should be able to access the evap sensor by un doing the bottom two screws.
pull the evaporator gently forwards and you’ll find the sensor located at the bottom left hand corner.
pull the sensor from it’s location and from the back of the fridge pull the sensor out.
this means, as stated above, that you’ll have to remove the fridge from it’s housing, as the sensor cable that is already in place HAS to be joined on the outside of the cabinet, not the inside.cheers.
Re: Admiral GC2224GEKW Fridge getting too cold.
i wouldn’t change the damper unit just yet.
this model did have an issue with freezing in the fridge, caused by a sticking damper, in turn caused by ice inhibiting the closure of the flap.
there is a heater foil that fits around the damper unit that solves the problem, not sure of the part number.
i’d go for that.
the damper does make a loudish whirring noise as it’s operating, but the noise only lasts for 10 secs or so, this is normal.cheers.
Re: Football Season 2012/13
didn’t see it, although i heard the last 25 mins on radio. how was rodriguez?
also, didn’t hear cork or chaplow’s name. are they injured?
