Question 5

The compressor is running but the Siemens KA62NV40 refrigerator is no longer cooling after an alarm - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your Siemens KA62NV40 is no longer cooling despite a functioning compressor, the problem usually does not come from the compressor itself but from a blockage in the cooling circuit or an incorrect setting after restarting.

Immediate Checks

Check the thermostat: Access the thermostat button or dial located inside the appliance. Make sure it is set within the optimal range of 2 to 5°C. An accidentally lowered or disabled setting often explains the lack of cooling after a prolonged shutdown.
Check the air circulation: Ensure that the ventilation grilles (especially at the back and between compartments) are not blocked by food or frost. The KA62NV40 model uses an automatic No Frost system, but a buildup of frost can block air passage.
Clean the defrost drain: Ensure that the drain hole at the bottom of the appliance is not clogged. A blocked drain prevents water from flowing out and disrupts cold circulation.
Wait a few hours: After 48 hours of shutdown, the system may need an additional 1 to 2 hours to reach normal temperature, especially if the appliance has been completely emptied (this is normal).

If the problem persists

If the compressor continues to run but none of the above checks help:

The internal cold circulation fan may be faulty or blocked (distinct from the compressor).
You may hear abnormal noise from the compressor that simulates normal operation but without actual cooling cycle.
Contact Siemens customer service to diagnose the cooling circuit and replace defective parts if necessary (fan, temperature sensor, or refrigerant).

Question 8

Where is the thermostat located in the Siemens KI34VA20 refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

The Siemens KI34VA20 refrigerator does not have a traditional mechanical thermostat. It is equipped with an electronic control system consisting of two elements located on the control panel, which is found inside the refrigerator door or on the top wall.

The temperature control includes two main elements: the temperature adjustment button (adjustment button) and the temperature display (indicator light). The button allows you to select the temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C for the refrigerator compartment. The display shows the currently set temperature using indicator lights.

Location of controls: The control elements are grouped on the control panel. To access it, you need to open the refrigerator door. You will see the main On/Off switch, the temperature adjustment button, and the indicator lights corresponding to each temperature degree.

Operation: There is no need to look for a physical thermostat inside the compartment. The adjustment is simply made by pressing the adjustment button until the desired temperature is reached. Siemens recommends a factory setting of +4 °C for optimal preservation of delicate foods. Note that the temperature of the freezer directly depends on that of the refrigerator: a decrease in the refrigerator compartment also results in a decrease in the freezer.

Question 9

How to test the thermostat of the Siemens KI34VA20 refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

To test the thermostat of your Siemens KI34VA20 refrigerator, follow these precise steps:

1. Safety first

Always unplug the appliance from the power source before any intervention to avoid any electrical risk.

2. Locate the thermostat

The thermostat is usually located inside the refrigerator, often behind a control panel or cover. Check the inside of the main compartment to locate it.

3. Remove the thermostat

Carefully unscrew or unclip the thermostat from its position, taking care to note or photograph the wiring for reassembly.

4. Use a multimeter

Set your multimeter to the ohmmeter function (resistance measurement).
Place the multimeter probes on the terminals of the thermostat.

5. Interpret the results

If the thermostat is in the low temperature position (cold setting), it should show electrical continuity, meaning a low resistance close to zero ohm.
If the multimeter does not indicate continuity (infinite or very high value), it means the thermostat is faulty and needs to be replaced.

6. Reassembly and verification

Reinstall the thermostat by reconnecting the wires as initially, then plug the refrigerator back in. Monitor its operation to ensure that the temperature is properly regulated.

Note: If you are not comfortable with these electrical manipulations or if the problem persists despite an apparently functional thermostat, it is recommended to call a qualified technician.

Question 10

What to do if the freezer compartment of the Siemens KI34VA20 refrigerator is not working properly?

Accepted Answer

If the freezer compartment of your Siemens KI34VA20 is not working properly, here are the checks and solutions to apply in order.

First, check the door closure. Make sure the freezer door is completely closed. A poorly closed door immediately leads to a loss of cold, excessive frost buildup, and significantly increased electricity consumption. If the door does not close properly, check that nothing is obstructing the passage and inspect the condition of the door seal: a damaged or dirty seal should be cleaned with warm water.

Check the refrigerator temperature. The temperature of the freezer depends entirely on the setting of the refrigerator compartment, which is set between +2°C and +8°C (ideally +4°C). Gradually lower this setting until you achieve around -18°C in the freezer. The system may take up to 12 hours after each adjustment to reach the new temperature. If the temperature is too high, wait a few hours; if it is too low, check the next day.

Check the ventilation openings. Ensure that the interior air vents of the freezer are not blocked by food, frost, or other objects. Good air circulation is essential for even cooling. Remove any obstacles if necessary.

Regularly defrost if frost accumulates. Unlike the refrigerator compartment which defrosts automatically, the KI34VA20 freezer naturally accumulates a layer of frost, which reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy consumption. To defrost: first activate the SuperCooling function about 4 hours beforehand so that the food reaches a very low temperature. Remove the frozen products and temporarily store them in a cool place. Turn off the appliance and unplug it. To speed up the defrosting, place a trivet and a pot filled with hot water in the freezer. Wipe up the water with a cloth, then dry completely with a paper towel before plugging back in. Important: never scrape frost with a sharp object, as you risk damaging the circuits containing the refrigerant fluid.

Listen to the compressor operation. Check that you can hear the compressor starting regularly with a slight humming, the refrigerant fluid circulating with light splashing or hissing sounds, and clicking noises when turning on/off. A complete absence of these sounds may indicate an electrical or mechanical problem.

Test after restarting. In some cases, turning off the appliance for 5 minutes and then restarting it resolves temporary issues. If the freezer still does not cool after these checks, ensure that the appliance is turned on (visible On/Off button), that power is flowing (fuse or circuit breaker not tripped), and that the plug is properly connected to the outlet. If the problem persists despite these steps, contact the authorized Siemens customer service, mentioning the serial number (E-Nr.) of your appliance visible on the nameplate.
