frost-free freezers contain ducts hidden in the back that cold air in blown through. Frost collects in these. When working correctly, the machine periodically melts the frost and allows it to drain away. What happens is the ducts become clogged with ice and unable to drain away, and the cold...

I just arrived back from holiday to find my freezer full of not quite frozen food. The fridge part didn't seem too good either. I emptied both parts and left it for the day turned up but it's actually warm (16c) in both the fridge and freezer now. It's a 5 year old Whirlpool arc 4324...

Hello all Odd issue with our Beko fridge/freezer - it's started to make a tapping sound, coming from the back of the unit. I have checked and the sound is not coming from the compressor area, rather the area above it with the black radiator grille. See video attached below for the noise...

thats why i prefer non frost free as when the visible ice has gone the job is done quilt on the floor freezer baskets on the quilt two quilts over the top about 1 hour with many bowls off hot water another hour of scraping and more hot water job done the bottom shelve will tend to have a well...

I worked with auto defrost 1980 so not really that new, as to the every so often needing a defrost not sure if all freezers are like that or just faulty ones. I have a Hotpoint fridge/freezer plumbed in with cold water from the door, it must be now around 20 years old, maybe older, from the day...

Thanks. I'm learning! Do I take it from what you say that the air is being recirculated in a 'closed circuit'? It certainly sounds like it but, as with most 'new fangled' things, I suppose the price is that there is a fair bit more to 'go wrong'! Kind Regards, John

Just to add, in a typical frost-free freezer, the evaporator is separate from the food compartment - with at least a baffle between them. Since during freezing the evaporator will always be the coldest part of the freezer, that's where any moisture condenses out - leaving very dry air to be...

From a freezer the size of a container to the one in your kitchen the same method is used, when cooling the air is fan blown around the food since the evaporator is the coldest item most of the moisture in the air will freeze on that rather than anywhere else in the freezer, this is also true...

I have never owned a 'frost-free' freezer, and know very little about them. Are you saying that such a freezer never develop frost/ice within the ('food') cavity, in the way that traditional ones always do? If they do develop such frost/ice, one is not going to be able to melt it unless the...

When the freezer is working as it should the evaporator is behind a partition with the heaters so when the heater switches on it only defrosts the evaporator not the freezer, as soon as the cycle is complete then the freezer motor runs and also a fan moves the cold air around, that fan does not...

That was method one, with my house it worked, of sorts, but mother's house has bay windows, so if there is any sun, even in the winter, the temperature of that room can sore, not unknown before electronic heads were fitted to find the room at 28°C as the sun warmed the room as well as the...

I am working out a new kitchen layout and I want to move my fridge freezer into a purpose built alcove. The Fridge freezer is a Hotpoint frost free one and is 600mm by 600mm by 190mm high. It will be partly into an alcove 400mm deep and I wonder how much space I have to leave at the top and...

I am unaware of any chest freezers with auto defrost, I see no panel to have the fans to work auto defrost. As far as I know auto defrost or frost free is only used with upright freezers, I would not have an upright freezer without auto defrost as not only does it defrost but the fan ensures...

If it is a frost-free freezer, the heating element will be coming on at intervals, less often than the compressor. I use a different type of energy monitor, which is quite inaccurate at low currents below about a kW I don't know about your house, but in mine the voltage has always been 240v...

The power taken by the compressor will vary with temperature - both internal and external to the freezer. In very simple terms, the larger the temperature difference, the more power it'll take. That's assuming a standard "on off" compressor control. Is it a "frost free" version by any chance ...

Thanks for the tip, did as advised, after just over 24hrs not a drop of water to be seen anywhere. Device sounded more like it was on ( i.e more like a compressor noise,) after I turned it back in (did nothing for the first 5mins), however it just seemed to be blowing room temperature around...

is it a frost-free freezer? if so, see https://www.diynot.com/diy/search/15023459/?q=is+it+a+frost-free+freezer&o=date&c[user][0]=24560

Frost-free freezers are prone to ice blockages in the airducts in the casing at the back. To melt it out you have to switch off and leave doors open for about 24 hours until water stops dripping inside the cabinet or into the dish at the back. If you have lost the instructions, look them up...

I have a Bosch upright frost free freezer Logi XX which I keep set at -18C. About 24 hours ago I found the 18 flashing. This usually means there has been a power failure so I turned on the Super Freeze. Later, the 18 was still flashing so I turned it to 16 to try and see what was happening...

I have a Whirpool ART 700/UK American style fridge freezer, which is a frost free appliance. It has been running fine for years, I had to replace the fan motor a few years ago and a couple of months ago I had to replace the compressor relay. It has run fine until this week, the point being it...
