Model 75238-GA1 Product No 922045851 Serial 60305206 We have the corresponding Santo fridge so would love to get this freezer fixed. It started bleeping as temp rose to -12 degrees. We thought we had left the door open but this was not the case. We emptied it and took it out to clean all around the back thinking it might just be dusty. However the temp carried on alarming and although initially dropped to -22 with the turbo on it gradually warmed up. We have switched it off for now but hope you can help. We have the name of local engineer but want to know what the problem may be and if worth fixing. Later Electrolux model is 5cms taller and will not fit the space as sit under to small cupboards in our fitted kitchen.
It very well be just that the defrost element has quit working. I have numerous frigs where the only problem were these and the owners thought it was a compressor failure. When the defrost quits working the evaporator coil gradually freezes over preventing air flow; therefore, it no cools.
This will require some on site diagnosis as it could be a number of things. If it is a self defroster that circuit could be bad. Otherwsie it could have to do with the tmeprsature control circuit.

The only thing that will make it cool to low is a thermostat. They wear out and get out of calibration. Check to be sure the temp sensor from the thermostat is tight on the mount. Its the little tube that connects to the evaporator that makes the thermostat work.

The freezer is probably in need of defrosting. This usually occurs when the freezer has been over packed. It needs to be able to ahve air flow through it, there are holes in the back of the freezer and a defrosting element at the top and they need to be clear in order to keep it frost free. It happend to me and we called an engineer out. solved it by using hair dryer to defrost it.

Hi,
As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...
Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...
