anyone resolved the issue of having water leaking on floor from Vitrifrigo drawer fridge/freezer?
It is absurd that this problem has not been considered from Vitrifrigo/Hanse.. |

we've seen this too... The drawers are not drained, and they are not watertight. If you turn off the power, then any frost melting will end up on the floor... I'd be interested in what others have done here. I'm thinking of putting temp sensors into the drawers. If I do, it seems easy enough to run some drains out, but... |

no, I do not think a sensor would help.
In any case the cold plate will build up ice and this need to be melted again in water. Every about 8 hours the fridge should make a de-icing cycle and this will create a water flow to be collected before it falls out of the fridge. I am thinking of applying a plastic barrier to stop the water in the lower part just before the edge of the case and then create a discharge hole in the center. |

Sorry... I meant that I had a project to put sensors in planned, and while I was there, I might do something about drains. Not that sensors will do anything by themselves... |

my 575 is one of the very first and I had really hundreds of issues. big fight with the dealer who could not address most of the problems. in the end I had evrything fixed at my personal care and expenses. |
