Troubleshooting; Water Leakage Inside The Freezer Compartment; Failed Defrosting - Electrolux REFRIGERATION Service Manual

8 TROUBLESHOOTING

Warning: Unplug the appliance before operating.

8.1 Water leakage inside the freezer compartment

In No Frost freezers, at the end of the water drain hose, in correspondence to the compressor drop tray, a rub-
ber valve is inserted to avoid that the water enters the freezer compartment thus causing an excessive ice for-
mation on the battery evaporator.
If the rubber valve is obstructed by foreign bodies, then there could be some water in the freezer compartment.
To avoid the described problem, it is necessary to clean the valve under running water or replace it.

8.2 Failed defrosting:

verify with the tester the correct
resistance value to the connec-
tor clamps
Frost the battery, then detach
the power plug of the appliance,
remove the connector of the
thermal switches and verify with
the tester the correct resistance
value to the connector clamps
29/31
SOLUTION
If the resistance value does not
correspond to the technical
data, replace the heater
If the resistance value does not
correspond to 0 (zero Ohm)
replace the thermal switches
