Re: Liebherr fridge freezing food & liquids
Hi Brian
I have not come across this model yet only seen pictures.
I have come across the single built in unit with 6 sensors freezing and the fault was the bottom evaporator sensor faulty.Looking at the pictures it looked a bit like the AEG bolted together separate fridge and freezer with a single control panel making it look as one unit American Style.
Normally. When I go to a model I have not seen I can work out the most likely fault by just looking at how it is freezing or not freezing,
I then test the sensors, thermal fuses,fan motors, heater, system fault etc in the order I think is causing the problem until I find the faulty part.
Most times I find the fault on the first part I test.
This is the only way sometimes when the manufacturers do not make technical info available.
A lot of the times models sold are more popular in different parts of the country so some models you never see.
As I said in my first post LIEBHERR are not suitable for DIY repair if you do not know how to test each part
As per your advice before trying to repair it is better to contact LIEBHERR direct, but as per previous customers of mine LIEBHERR have not been helpfull once out of warrenty

Re: Liebherr fridge freezing food & liquids
A LIEBHERR is not a DIY job to repair and normally very reliable.
The problem you have can be caused by a few things and is hard to advise without testing it.
On a LIEBHERR the most common fault is the Fridge evaporator probe, but the fault you have could be caused by low refrigerant.
If the motor at the back for the fridge side is running hot this would point to low refrigerant.
If the motor is cold or only warm then the refrigerant should be ok.
You will also need to check the fan in the fridge is working.
The fan stops when you open the door but if you look at the fan as soon as you open the door if it is working you will see it slowing down ( Please note the fan only runs when the compressor is running )
If the motor or fan do not seem to be the problem then it is most likely the probe.

Re: APM6121/6125/6115 Identification and Freezer Door
Inside the fridge should be a label if you look on the left hand side at the bottom of the fridge. If you pull out the veg containers you should see it.
For further advice for parts try AWS / Hygena Diplomat Spares online.
Or the WTA shop

Re: apm6855-1
On the APM6855-1 it is more likely a fan fault as it has the newer round probe fitted.
On the APM6855-0 it had a flat probe ( no frost evaporator sensor ) and was a common fault.
The sensor and the fan are fitted behind the rear panel in the freezer.
The fan stops when you open the fridge door and on the early APM6855-1 also stops when you open the freezer door.
You can operate the door sensors with a magnet to test the fan.

Re: Diplomat APM6842 freezer defrosts on its own!
If the heater switch was on then the heater will be faulty.
You can test by turning on the switch when the compressor has stopped.
After about 10 minutes the back panel in the fridge near the bottom should be warm.
If it is not warm then the heater will be faulty but cannot be replaced.
If you go away in the cold weather turn the temperature to maximum this may help.
If not try to leave your food with a friend.

Re: General Electrical American Fridge Freezer
AWS now supply GE parts worth a try to see if a door can be obtained.
Some MAYTAG fridge freezers have the same parts.
If it is an older model look on E Bay some times you can come across good second hand parts
I have obtained obsolete parts before on E Bay old stock etc.
But a door may be hard to obtain.

Re: Diplomat APM6842 freezer defrosts on its own!
If the weather is cold when you are away it is possible it may be a low ambient fault
( cold room ) as I do not expect the heating is on.In the fridge compartment next to the thermostat you have a switch for low ambient.
Only use this if it is cold when you are away you will know it is on as the switch glows orange.
The switch operates a heater on the back panel in the fridge but it will make the fridge warm near the bottom.
If you use the switch when the weather is warm this can cause problems on this model and you should only use it if the temperature drops below 10 degrees centigrade or you expect cold weather when you are away.

Re: Spray painting white goods
It depends on the price of the paint.
You can buy Hamerite paint from most DIY stores.
You need to buy the smooth finish type and you may find this is a cheaper and easier paint to use.
Make sure you prepare well as with any spray paint but Hamerite does not require any undercoat
BobRe: SCHRIBER APM6855 HIGH TEMP FRIDGE ERROR 1?
If the sensor for the fan is faulty you can bypass it by cutting it off and joining the 2 wires together.
Bob
Re: SCHRIBER APM6855 HIGH TEMP FRIDGE ERROR 1?
Is the fan working
01 is normally a evaporator sensor or temperature sensor.
You can test the fan motor with the freezer door open with a magnet.
The sensor is on the right hand side in the freezer about half way down

Re: Masterfix
I have not done any work for them but met them twice at the WTA meetings
But as with any work provider in the present climate you have to be willing to take a risk.
Even manufacturers can be a risk look at MFI for one.
I have not seen any complaints about them so worth giving it a try if you need extra work
