and £400 does not buy much

consider £400 machine cost but there is £66 vat in that so your only buying the machine for £333. then the retailer has to make a profit. it has to be shipped half way round the world. The manufacturer has to design it and build a factory and employ prople to make and sell it

as you can imagine there is not much left to spend on high quality components

beko are not too bad, built in Turkey and some in China. spares are not too hard to get unlike other makes

top of the tree is MIele but they are expensive as you would expect

Many thanks for digging up that diagram Dave. There is no sign of a sensor in the fridge freezer. As an aside, the word “cerpanine” is a mystery. Nothing shows up on Google.

no its a strange name but they are a turkish company

it will be an NTC thermistor

motor is most likely

I would remove the board and check for print damage

Dave

[electrofix]

i am thinking more than the board

the board cant ( well almost impossible ) blow your trip so i suspect another component that went and took the board with it

Dave

[electrofix]

diagram shows a sensor attached to connector PL802 on the board
this sensor will be what has failed

Dave

[electrofix]

if you have complete model and pnc can find the manuals

Dave

[electrofix]

its the solid lights that matter

cant decide if vits fault 6 or 12

both dont seem to fit symptoms

Have gt a manual for WDL540 and fault 6 is not used on that one

fault 6 is door lock problems and fault 12 is board communication

think its more likely to be F12 so I would check the wires and connections between the 2 boards

Dave

[electrofix]

I would check pressure chamber for blockages

Dave

[electrofix]

if they wanted to make the springs go the same way they would have to produce left and right springs and it would make very little difference

Dave

[electrofix]

yes know what you mean but all the ones i have see you end up with ice bergs stuck to the rear wall because of no defrost phase but since only part of the evaporator freezes they dont seem to get that cold

but then dont get too involved with fridges

Dave

[electrofix]

but your first statement said the fridge act like a freezer. the very fact it has the power to freeze everything means there cant be a problem with the compressor as its not only getting to the temperature it should switch off its exceeding it
