What gets me about a lot of these things is, that there’s a whole bunch of free (as in, costs you absolutely nothing but a little time) like Google Local, our search, a website of your own (okay, that might cost a little but a far better use of your money) and likely a bunch of other things you ought do be doing way, way before you pay companies like this for unicorns.
I just fail to understand why people get taken for mugs and pay for this stuff as that old adage holds true, if it looks too good to be true, guess what, it’s too good to be true!
The guy woulda probably have gotten more out a £70 ad in the local rag. And less grief.
We all make mistakes, live and learn but tell me, how many of these things have ever panned out to be some sort of nirvana?

If the sensors are okay then I don’t know what could be causing that as they are, in effect, the thermostats.
K.
Best guess is that it’s one or both sensors that ar in it.
There is one behind the rear cover of the fridge and one in the freezer but I’ve no way to tell which might be the issue but the good news is they are replaceable and not that expensive really. Getting to them will be the issue as that I can’t see.

It is frost free so it’s complex and could be any of the things I mentioned, without testing multiple components, there’s really no way to guess at what it could be.

Given Miele’s stance on spare parts and support (explained here), you’ve got pretty much zero hope of any spares for it from anyone other than Miele, at Miele prices, which will often bring tears to a glass eye as it were. Which 99/100 makes repairing older machines completely uneconomic to even consider.
And if you need to get Miele in to repair it, well, let’s just say that most people will feel that sorely.
It’s a huge shame that it is that way and I don’t agree with Miele’s philosophy but, it is what it is.

Depends what model it is but it could be any number of things from what you describe if it’s frost free, a simple blockage, fan motor, compressor or a sensor.
No way to tell without knowing what model it is what it might be and, even then, very possibly not without more info.

Lawrence and myself have been knocking something about on this score, to get WTA members web traffic but we need to trial it before doing much of anything about it.
The reason is that all these things whether it’s this crew, Trusted whatever etc that all seem to have enough cash to run adverts on radio etc are all getting that money from somewhere and, it ain’t from the public!
But they do seem to hoover up a lot of online enquiries.

Apple store didn’t tell me how many downloads it’d had but the signs didn’t point to it being especially popular by any stretch.
Though that sort of experience doesn’t really shock me as what they’re trying to do isn’t easy and, that’s just for this industry let alone a plethora of them! I had to try to work it out best I could for our search.
In the end though, I think it’s a hard pass.

Never heard of them.
But some things bother me about it and, to me, it looks like a get-rich-quick startup scheme. As in, they build it up, float it or flog it (perhaps to a competitor like Trust A trader or whatever) and it’s a payday for the developer but, only of they can get enough volume through it.
Mobile number.
The address has 18 companies registered there so, it’s either a desk and a PC etc or, that’s the accountant’s office.
The app stores don’t say how many downloads it’s had but I suspect not a lot. These days, something like that needs major pushing through advertising or media to get noticed or a lucky viral moment. Looking at it I don’t think they have the cash behind them to promote it to get where it’d need to be.
Call me old, grumpy and cynical among other things and you’d be mostly right but this one looks iffy to me.

It’s possibly locked on a defrost or, the compressor is faulty but remotely it’s hard to say which and more so as I’ve no experience with those units though sadly I think the latter is more likely.
K.
I’m not familiar with the model but, can you hear the compressor trying to run at the back as it should be?
K.
I was looking ot see who’d been the biggest knob lately, tough call but I’d be going for andyjawa.
