How do I get rid of bad smell in the freezer part of my Zanussi fridge freezer ZBB 6286. Pilot light and fast freeze light are flashing.

Sounds like a bad solder joint causing intermittent power issues...

Hello Heather.
Have you had anything wrong with fridge that caused the smell.
Try charcoal in both fridge and freezer.
Hope it will help.
Fish smell is hard to get read off

It sounds like what you replaced was OK. Check the condenser and clean it out and be sure the condenser fan is working.

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong. If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing thencheck out the last two tips.

You may have a bad compressor.
You will need a Technician to replaced

no, its probably weak capacitors which provide power to switch the relay. Take the control board out and ask a friendly TV repair tech to change the capacitors

it will do that till temp is reached

Hi - we had this problem, and it was in fact where some blood from a defrosting pice of meat drained into the compressor condensation tank and began to decay!

I agree the smell is terrible, so a good clean up is needed but this solves the problem immediately!

Kind regards,

Mike

Adjust the temperature control for the freezer to a normal setting. Fast freeze is only for when new products are put in that need to be frozen. This locks the system into a continuous run mode and could be responsible for the freezing condition in the refrigerator section. Check the temperatures with a thermometer as the sensor for the freezer temperature could be bad causing the light to come on.
