They should...

They should design freezers so that the big lumps of ice do not accumulate on complicated bits of the freezing system wedged on top of ledges. I have just spent an hour or more cleaning the fridge and am stuck with three lumps of ice that cannot be go t at and I will just have to wait....tried hot water, hair dryer, all the other ice is gone but these ice bergs are between me and my bed.

Be careful if you are stabbing at the ice. I remember my mum putting a knife through the pipes in a fridge some years ago. Fridge was just scrap after that.

Expensive mistake to make.

Noooo - nothing more dangerous than a wooden spoon! Finally got it sorted before I staggered off to bed!

My fridge freezer is certainly frost free. The bloody thing has stopped working...GRRRRRRRR:(

looksee

Indeed Cicero, and I believe my fridge is in fact frost free. The freezer however is another matter.

Yes, ok. I accept that freezers can be frost free. Mine isn't. I also agree it wasn't worth starting a thread about. I plead the fact that I really wanted to go to bed, and have been dying with a cold since. (No not really dying, but feeling very pathetic). Come to think of it, who starts defrosting the fridge at 9.30pm?

Just realised that as mod I could close this thread...oh the power! On the other hand it would look as though I was trying to make work for myself.

Rubecula

No need to make work for yourself, you have a fridge to defrost. Get on with it you slacker!:D

Do you reckon your cold and the frosty spell you're experiencing are related...?...If they are, you should really consider getting a frost-free freezer you know....:p

Help OG! You wouldn't consider marking this thread off-topic would you? I'm being got at...:p

I think there are freezers with an auto defrost programme. The walls of the freezer warm up for a few minutes just to keep the ice from accumulating, but not enough to defrost anything in the freezer.

I'm closing this thread as it is off-topic, with apologies since I started it.
