I have a long standing problem with a CNES3866 Liebherr Fridge Freezer...
Despite having a free flowing pipe in the channel at the bottom of the Fridge section the unit ends up forming a block of ice in the channel and then causes water to accumulate in the base of the fridge section (salad crisper).
The fridge section does not have a defrost. Instead the intent is that the evaporator cools the back wall, potentially causing some frosting and then during a compressor idle this frosting evaporates, drips down to the channel and out of the drainage hole.
I am presuming that the cycle for removing the water formed is not functioning correctly due to a temperature sensing issue of some kind?
The appliance has a Diagnostic mode...
On/Off + SuperFrost (3+ seconds)
Up x 3 => H menu to E menu
SuperFrost
and then you can see the current sensor readings...
E1=Fridge air... I get 5C
E2=Fridge evaporator... I get -16C
E1 seems OK... fridge is set for 4C but that isn't far off.
How do I interpret E2 values? Is -16C a reasonable value?
Thanks in advance
