Re: Zanussi ZX97/5 Fridge Freezer

We’ve had this problem – ours went wrong 2 weeks after the warranty ran out!

I called an engineer and it turned out that despite being frost-free, there was significant build up of ice in the compartment at the top of the freezer unit that had blocked up the fan. He couldn’t even dismantle the final section due to the amount of ice!

We resolved it by defrosting the fridge but it did take the best part of 2 days! He was right in that I was able to dislodge a sizeable block of ice from near the fan and I also tried to start it up again too early and the fan could be heard hitting the ice.

Don’t know about you, but we’ve always had problems with significant frost build up on the bottom door seal and around the bottom draw. I’d put it down to moisture getting in through there and condensing around the fan – but it now seems the frost build up is a common fault!
