Hi
I'm looking for help on above model.
Freezer has four shelves, the top one is not freezing. Other three ok?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation
Nigel

Probably a system failure but the model number would help

Hi Dave
Sorry for the delay, been away for a few days.
Model is FZ60P, No. 26101309, R134a.
When you say system failure, what does that actually entail?
Thanks Nigel

System failure is an internal leak or a compressor problem but as you have a frost free model it may be a defrosting issue.
Try a shutdown for 24/48 hours and see what happens

Hi Dave
The lady who owns the freezer, only switched it back on yesterday (Thur), as it was still dripping, she estimates approx a 1.5 gal. came from it (14yrs without a defrost). It is now freezing on all shelves!
She sends her thanks.
Also asks how often she should do a defrost?
Thanks for your help

Once a year is advisable methinks, January each year is a good time to do it (avoiding the hot summer months and Christmas
