Question about Zanussi ZX99 / 5 Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

1 Answer

Cleaning of Freezer cooling elements

I have a 4 year old Zanussi fridge freezer with the cooling elements underneath (& fan driven). I have to regularly clean these off as they get covered in dust & stuff. (If I don't, then the red warning lights are on & the over-temp bleeper sounds.) How can I clean off these elements ? Currently I can only clean off the first few "waves" & the rest are now becoming very blocked.

They make a "coil brush" that works just for getting into those hard to reach places. There are also vac attachments that have long skinny brush attachments for doing coils also. Although messy and time consuming, pulling the fridge out and blowing it with an air compressor type air chuck using about 80lbs of air pressure works to dislodge the hard to get to stuff. On some models that are really stuck because of cooking grease in the air coating the coils, etc. I have had to pull the fridge outside and actually pressure wash the coils with detergent to get them clean of greasy build up that causes the dust to stick like concrete.

Freezer works but frigde isn't working
once ice forms on the freezer coils there is no air flow. I had the same thing. I suspect your defrost cycle is compromised. Could be the bimetal switch, defrost timer or defrost heater element.

Fridge on Fridge freezer not working
Ok there is a drain pan under the evap. coil under the fan that may be clogged and full of ice there is a 3/4" hole the water drains out of that needs cleared if there is a puddle of ice over it , the ice will also effect the airflow traveling down the duct to the fresh food section of the unit.
If there is no ice puddle at the bottom of the refrigerator then make sure the unit is cooling well by making sure it has been running for 10 min. or so and checking the coil in the freezer , it should have a small layer of frost on it showing its getting cold the whole way through it. Let me know how this works.

Fridge does not cool

Sounds like ice built up on the evaporator coils inside the freezer. thus hindering air flow to the refridgerator section. Is there ice build up in the freezer? This is assuming the temperature control didn't get changed inadverttily.

Hope this helps

Three most common problems are bad evaporator fan motor, defrost problem, or damper motor.

Zanussi fridge freezer
sounds like the freezer evaporator has iced /frosted up and you will not get cold airflow through it. try a 24 hour defrost to clear it. then check fridge cooling.

Hi, My Fridge is not getting enough cold even I put the thermostat to the maximum in Zanussi ZX99/si fridge freezer. The freezer is working fine. I checked the heating coil and seems to be fine. I can hear the fan working when the door is closed. I could not see any water on top of the evaporating tray and not any water dripping to it. I cannot locate the defrost timer in this model. Could anyone help me to locate the defrost timer . I could see a box near the compressor, but not seems to be like a timer. I did not open it as it is having so many wires connected to it. I think it might be the timer problem. Can anyone help me?
