Re: AEG Freezer – Not freezing – buzzer sounding
Hi,
As I type the freezer is remains ok. But I’m checking it a few times a day in case it decides to go off the rails again. I like the thought that perhaps the de-frost cycle is up the spout.I’ll be in touch again if the problem returns for advice.
Many thanks for thoughts so far,
Laurie
Re: AEG Freezer – Not freezing – buzzer sounding
Hi, Since leaving the message earlier today I must have read your thoughts. I switched the freezer off for about an hour then switched it on again. The compressor started up, I could hear something circulating and the black radiator on the back started to get warm. After what must be 10 hours the freezer is back into range and on -18C.
From the AEG website I put in the PNC Nr and downloaded their Instruction manual pdf – that is of passing interest.
I’d still like to know what the real problem is – as it could return at anytime. The only things I’ve done – apart from leaving it off for an hour are – vacuum clean and brush all around the back and made sure the gap to the back wall is a few inches rather than perhaps too close.
Your thoughts and knowledge are very welcome.

Hi Clive,
I traced the blown pcb track to the heater sensor in the heater element unit and found that lime scale from a previously leaking door seal had dripped water into the plug. All now cleaned and the pcb track repaired with 5 amp fuse wire as a precaution. Motor brushes replaced – they had a few months left in them. Also refitted the Triac as others had said this was probably OK if pcb track to it was not blown – as was the case.
All put back and now seems to be working. So far it has run 4 complete wash cycles at 30 and 60 degrees – heater appears to be OK to.
Thanks for your encouragement.
Regards,
Laurie 😀
