Can you please advise on how to remove drip tray from bosch fridge KTR1670GB. Tray filled up with gunge and needs cleaning and disinfecting. From what I can see a 'tightener' linked to the compressor keeps it in place. I suspect that this could be un tightened to get the tray out, however, there is hardly any room to do this.
YOU MIGHT TRY TO UNCLIP THE COMPRESSOR AND MOVE IT OUT SLOWLY AS HOT TO KINK THE COPPER TUBING,ALSO MAKE SURE YOU USE CLAUK UNDER THE DRAIN PAN SO IT DOES NOT LEAK,HOPE THIS HELP,THANKS-MIKE
In the following link https://www.justanswer.com/uk-appliance/3p1m5-remove-evaporating-plate-bosch-fridge-ktr-eco.html the technician didn't have an answer. I've just been faced with the same problem on the same model the KTR1670GB. My sons carried the fridge outside for me and I puzzled on what to do. The Danfoss compressor is on a sub chassis. I rotated the fridge clockwise with the back facing me. The ooze and grotty water drained away from the junction box on the compressor. Using a Torx screwdriver I undid the four screws. This allowed the compressor to move 20mm. A son held the compressor while I twisted off the tab that retains the drip tray. Water pump pliers with their cranked jaws worked here. The tab fractured in half a turn. The drip tray was easy to remove. I put 2 screws back in loosely and went away to tackle the year's worst piece of washing up using old toothbrushes, cotton buds and a scriber. This part was never designed to be cleaned. Reassembly was straight forward. Please could you add this to the above article? David Holman,
