Is it a "Frost-Free" freezer? or does it have to be manually defrosted?

It is a regular refrigerator/freezer. It does not have an icebox that needs to be defrosted.

The freezer must be manually defrosted. There is no drip tray. You have to turn thermostat knob to off, open the door, allow ice to melt, and wipe out the melted ice with a cloth.

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum

It depends on the freezer, it's made out of distilled water so it freezes like regular water.

No. It needs to be periodically defrosted. I have had mine for a little over a year and it is about time.

The refrigeration unit gets very cold. I usually empty the canister when the ice cream just collects on the dasher because it is so stiff. I'm going to guess that is as cold as it is going to get because the ice cream is not contacting the outer canister. As an example, I made some salted caramel which I then placed in a deep freezer at -11 F. It never did get solid because I added too much salt which was not the freezer's fault. Sincerely, JAH

Sure it defrosts as needed. It is operational for heating down to 5F, in cooling down to 32F. Ambient.

Mine sits on the carpet and had not gotten it wet. It is only a fridge so no need to defrost. I've had it for 6 months and I love it!

Hi David, According to the manual: "P1- Unit is defrosting-- Allow the unit time to automaticallydefrost. The error will clear after the unit self defrosts."

I put it in the freezer and nothing happened. It did not turn cold at all. I am very disappinted with this product.

I don't. It's so good at cooling you have to defrost it from time to time. It lacks an auto defrost.

No you can't just put a bowl of water hot and it will defrost inside of freezer

Does the freezer have a ice build up. If not the compressor may be bad. If so then the defrost thermostat maybe bad. You can troubleshoot by checking the board

Manual defrost. But it is fairly easy, turn it off, and the ice will come off in large pieces

I have never left it in the freezer. I used it for ice buckets for parties, outdoor coolers. But I like it a lot. Good quality. Good price.

Yes works real well. What I do is to put a portion in a baggie. Lay it flat in the freezer. It will freeze as a flat thin block. Then vacuum seal it. it will also defrost faster than a thick frozen block.

Has a little freezer enough for one ice tray. I've had it a couple of years and have not needed to defrost.

We have had no problems at all with it and it has been well below freezing. Our door is under a protected porch so does not get iced over.

I THINK I DEFROSTED IT ONCE BUT IT WASN'T BAD. opps, not yelling. I like this fridge. We use it in an office in a gift shop.
