Hi there, Happy Xmas. My silver Miele KFN12823SD Fridge Freezer is 2 1/2 years old. I have never cleaned the inner workings propperly. It keeps filling up with water at the bottom - something is blocked???? AND the 'door open' alarm keeps going off even when the door is closed (in the middle of the night-very annoying). I would appreciate your help in this matter. Many thanks, Tess

Ambient temp will cause the thermostat some confusion. There's probably nothing wrong with the fridge, my freezer doesn't like being in the outhouse. Only alternative is only switch on when you are there or move it to a cupboard where you could put a low output source of heat just enough to keep it happy. Then get it out when you are there?

Usually a faulty temp sensor on the fridge evaporator, not an easy repair for most, I would personally recommend Miele's fix priced repairs

You mean it's not an auto-defrost model? It should be, no older than it is.

My miele fridge freezer has just come up with a fault code F4 where the temp is... what does this mean and how can we fix it???

After 2 years our fridge was beeping and not keeping food cold, when we were having people over for xmas lunch. Luckily was still under extended warranty. The wires of the fan had broken and was not pushing the cold air around the fridge. 2 years later fridge is beeping again, assuming its the same problem. The fan is a cpu computer fan, so if you have anyone handy its easy to replace, fan is located under bottom panel of fridge section.

Dont tip it upside down. if the freezer is working good then that says the cooling unit is working.if you look inside the lower section(the fridge) at the back wall inside. you should see a white wire clipped into the silver fins. move that white wire down about 3 or 4 fins to the left.this should help.

hi is the fan motor running in the freezer. is there frost built up on the freezer wall did you pull fridge from the wall and clean the coils by the compressor

Hi miss_i2000

Your question is: freezer is icing up and fridge temperature has risen to 10 from 5. Also alot of condensation in the fridge and the fan doesnt seem to be working in fridge. Correct temperature on freezer -18 but ice. new frost free fridge freezer bought 1.5 weeks ago

This is no problem for you. You are under warranty and as long as you have not tryed to repair it yourself you are completely covered. Look for the manufacturer's warranty phone number on the paper work that came with it or call the sales man, he will be happy to track that down for you because he wants repeat business.
If you bought it used the only answer is to return it. You could get a local pro to repair it at yuor own expense but I wouldn't recomend that for a frige only 1.5 weeks old!
