The Kühlgefriekombi we have now for 4 years in use. For about half a year flew us in opening the refrigerator door a white plastic particles around the ears - a hinge has given up the ghost, then you could not close the door - I had to manage my to repair with duct tape. While it can happen to anyone, but should not, of course. Technically not inexperienced, I went to the exchange. And I've seen the way times at Aunt Google, because what you there for a spare part needs exactly - and took a lot of reviews as well here that it happens regularly and after a short time. An insolence. After replacement of both hinges on the refrigerator compartment was now 3 days ago also the freezer bottom end. Renewed exchange of both hinges. Power 70 euros spares (spare parts can at country a large auction house relatively cheap and fast arrangements) plus conversion time and a lot of costs for the total repair in people who do not even dare it.
Fair to say that even the hinge manufacturer Hettich here may have to be reminded of their duty to build in such hinges with integrated breaking point. One would take on certain plastic can also rely on another material in the design.
Technically, the radiator works fine above, but the freezer still attracts annual defrosting, because the fins catch up with icy snow. The fact that in 2014 still to be state of the art, I can hardly believe it.
In general: everything seems a little thin, shaky in the plastic parts of this refrigerator. We would definitely not take the device back and certainly look against the background of the control defect even more with other manufacturers.
In sum, I can not forgive more than 2 stars - "I do not like" or a maximum sufficient.
PS: When ordering spare parts the country there were with me the set of hinges (2 pieces) with the item number 331 416 263 802 - to whom it may concern.
