AEG Santo Fridge keeps self-defrosting and has now failed?

Hi Peter J Taylor and G Salisbury
Did you ever find out the cause of the problem?

I have the exact same problem with mine . Have you got anywhere with it?

I have the same fridge and almost the same problem. Some of the time it works for up to 1 hr (and the temp starts to fall on the read out) but the the clicking on and off starts again and the temp just climbs back up. Would be very interested in a DIY solution as I've since relocated to Spain and the electrolux network here said they can't help. An exploded diagram would be helpful if one exists on the internet as would any pointers for how to test so i can source the correct parts. The fridge cost about £650 and has had little more than 2 years use (was in storage for a long time), so i'm obviously keen to resurrect it. Many thanks in advance.

sounds like a faulty compressor or could be a faulty starter but not easy to tell you which without testing it
