Hi folks,
I bought an zanussi frost free fridge freezer at end of may model ZRB224NW0. Twice since I got it the tray that collects the water at bottom back on top of the compresser has filled up with water and caused me a lot of trouble pulling fridge out and having to tip it backwards to try and empty it and put sponge pads inside tray to soak up the water.
There is 4 inch space between fridge and back wall and also 4 inch clearance between top of fridge and overhanging unit. (though it does say in manual to leave 4 inch but ideally no overhanging wall units) The actual fridge freezer is working fine otherwise.
I had the service man out once and he seemed to think its an air circulation problem but he otherwise did nothing. I am going to call him out again. What do you think is the best course of action for me, as I think kitchen is a normal domestic enviroment and the fridge should work without problems? I would probably remove the overhanging unit as its only a small medicine cabinet type thing, but other than that what do you think is the best course fo action for me. I have now increased the space at back of fridge/freezer to 7 inch between it and wall. If I continue to have problems with it is there a possibility that zanussi (I believe the brand is now owned by electrolux) might actually give me another fridge?
many thanks for any help as this is now beginning to annoy me a bit.
