Hello everybody!

I have an old Liebherr KGN 3446 (fridge/freezer combination - it should be series KGN 3000). The displayed fridge temperature stays between 4-7 °C.

All of a sudden, the freezer stopped working correctly. It went up from -18°C setpoint to -11°C and started beeping continuously.

When starting self-diagnosis mode (the display shows a blinking 1), the engines start up, and after a short time, the temperature shown is at correct -18°C (I haven't tested it with a separate thermometer, but by my perception it could be correct).

After a short time of waiting, the problem starts over again, and the freezer's temperatur is raising up to error-niveau.

If I start the self-diagnosis and wait until its finished, it displays error code F7.

What does this error code mean? What could be the problem.

Help would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

Firs guess:
welded defrost relay contacts.

So, first try would be brushing the defrost-sensor contacts?

Thanks

Where did I say "defrost-sensor"?
Are you qualified to work with electricity and not kill yourself?
Do you have required tools?

F7 is defective ambient sensor. Appliance controls normally, but without ambient sensor influence
