Re: Siemens VARIO electronic Fridge/Freezer
Hi Steve, I meant that the thermistor was doing the same job as a thermostat as in when the resistance hits a specific value the temprature must be at a particular point. I have indeed shorted it out even though it’s resistance was as expected (about 10kohms if I remember correctly) but as my fault is intermittant I wasn’t too surprised. I am monitoring it and so far so good. 🙂
Re: Siemens VARIO electronic Fridge/Freezer
Hi Greg,
It sounds like I have the very same problem but I thought I’d just check with you if that’s ok before ordering the thermistor removal kit.
I too have a Siemens Fridge/Freezer (KG31V04GB/06) and although it does not need turning off and on again to get the temperature down, I do find on occasion that the freezer has risen in temperature to almost 0. The next time I look it’s back to its normal termperture.
I have turned ‘super’ on and set the thermostat to it’s lowest temperature setting (5) and am waiting to see if it happens again – I have just checked and I think it might be as the temperature guage set within the freezer door is above its normal range..
I pulled the fridge out and dusted down the radiator and noted that one of the feeds to the radiator was very hot so I’m guessing that the pump and gas are still working fine.
I have checked the door seals and they’re fine too.
Finally, I thought a thermistor was a thermostat. If this is bypassed what prevents the fridge and/or freezer from going way too cold?many thanks in advance for your time,
Ian.
