Re: unknown Servis freezer

Got it, thanks (it was behind bottom drawer). Its an M7604-6S which from an Internet search seems to have a capacity of 108 Litres.

Thanks again.

Re: Liebherr water not draining problem

Hi K

Tanks again. So where is the compressor (is it in the bit of seemingly lost space behind the top drawer of the freezer part of the fridge/freezer)? If so, is it not possible that there is a drain hose starting some way behind the drain hole that I can see from inside the fridge and which could be getting blocked? Is it possible to get to that hose to try and clean it somehow?

Thanks again for any help.

Re: Liebherr water not draining problem

Hi K

Thanks for that.

Strangely, I did find my manual and it suggested trying to clear the drainage hole with a cotton bud. I did this and did pull out a little bit of grunge, but the drainage hole from the fridge did actually seem clear. In my case it looks (and feels) as though the (first?) drainage hole just feeds through a kind of false wall on the back of the fridge into another drainage cavity between the false wall and the real back wall of the fridge. Is this possible? If so, is it possible that there is a second drainage hole going from this cavity to somewhere else? If so could that drainage hole be bloacked? It looks to me as though the false wall (if that is what it is might be able to be removed by taking out two screw type thingies (in the shape of round discs with slots in as though for unscrewing using e.g. a tuppence coin – a bit like the covers on say calculators covering those small round disc shaped batteies that claculator and the like often use). Do you think it would be safe for me to try and unscrew these and look for another drainage hole behind the false wall (if that’s what it is?).

On another more general question, I understand form the article that you pointed me to that there is some kind of evaporation process going on. Presumably it is this evaporation process that removes excess water from the system. It must be a very clever system which manages to regulate itself in such a way that the amount of water evaporated equals the amount of extra water entering the system (I imagine that every time the fridge door is opened some warm moisture-laden air enters the fridge and then gives up that moisture as it cools resulting in a nett addition of water to the system. Presumably since there doesn’t seem to be any water outlet, this must be matched by water being evaporated by the system. Presumably there must be some sort of storage tank for the water if it comes in sudden rushes as a result of defrosting the evaporation plate from time to time. Does it perhaps work by waiting until the water in this storage tank has dropped to a certain level before attemtping to defrost the evaporation plate and thus try to maintain equilibrium that way?

Any answers as all gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Re: bosch wtl6106

I have now successfully completed the repair.

Getting the lhs panel off was the biggest challenge. For the benefit of anyone reading this later with the same problem, you need to remove top first – once the retaining bolts at the back have been removed the lid slides back an inch or two and then lifts up and off. Then all retaining bolts for lhs panel can be removed and the panel slides up and away from the unit.

The return hose (indeed ribbed in my case) just pulls off from the top. Mine was completely blocked with fluff. After cleaning this all out it simply pushes back onto the spout connection at the top and feeds back into the tank at the bottom. Then reassemble and everything now works fine again 😀

Re: bosch wtl6106

I see that makes perfect sense, thanks. 😀 So I guess I am right in thinking that the solution is also likely to be exactly the same for me too. i.e. take off lhs panel, look for an overflow pipe and clear it, then reassemble and test! Brilliant – I’ll try tonight and report how I get on.

Thanks

Re: bosch wtl6106

Hi

I have a Bosch WTL6103 with a similar sounding problem. i.e. it’s recently started leaking a bit so that not all of the condensed water goes into the removable container and instead some of it seems to just accumulate in the chamber into which the container slides. Does the same solution apply to my dryer as well?

To be honest I’d love to know how these things work just out of curiosity – there seems to be a big hole going right through the container just next to the hole going into the container that condensed water must presumably drip into. What is the point of the through hole? Where does the condensed water come from (the condenser unit appears to be right at the bottom of the machine while the container sits right at the top of the machine!!!

Any answers gratefully received.

Thanks
Simeon

Re: long reach kitchen tap

Hi

I hadn’t tried there, but I have now and I can’t see anything. Does no-one else ever feel that their kitchen tap is too short? Is it really just me?

Cheers
Sim

p.s. I know the knowledge in this forum is huge which is why I came back here!

Re: water plus button

Hi Thanks for the speedy response. I live in a very hard water area suffering a drout and water shortage (London). For some reason I was hoping that it would reduce the amount of water used, but I guess I was wrong. I’ll leave it off in future.

Thanks
Sim
