Freezer not freezing

[RobH71]

Hi all I have been hearing a clicking noise in my kitchen and but its intermittent and I was not sure where it was coming from. This morning I have noticed the freezer part of my Whirlppol fridge freezer is defrosting and the clicking is from there. The fridge part appears to be working fine. Any ideas ?

The clicking is the ice melting. is it doing an " auto defrost"?

No Frank it's definitely an electrical click. It was driving me mad for a day or so. I am guessing something is not turning on as it should.

Is it a fan assisted device?

If it is a frost-free freezer there is a good chance the ducts at the back are choked with ice. Sometimes this is because the heating circuit is not working. You can't get at these ducts.

Take out all the food from the freezer, unplug it, leave the door open for 24 hours or until it stops dripping, whichever is the longer.

Pull it away from the wall so you can see water dripping into the collection dish on top of the motor, as well as dripping into the bottom of the cabinet. Do not start it up before all the hidden ice has dripped out, or you have wasted your time. Clean out the collection dish so it doesn't overflow onto any electrical parts.
