I have a Miele fridge freezer with 2 motors. the fridge works fine. The freezer motor seems to be working - nice and hot like the fridge one - but the freezer cooling grill remains cold and the freezer is warmer than the fridge!
It has seperate cooling circuits as you describe the problem can be a leak of refrigerant in the freezer circuit.if there is no heating up in the freezer condensing coil.It has to be check for the leakage.
Basicly you can not do it by yourself you need special equiptment.and a techical person.
Need to open the circuit from charging side with a pipe cutter.Vacuum the system . then charge with suitable gas with the same amount written in the nameplate.Run the appliance and the best way is to use a leak detector.other way is to make bubles with a shampoo and check the leak but small leakes can not be detected by this method also leaks in the suction side is hard to detect by this.
