Does this freezer automatically defrost?

I don't know---we just had huge amounts of ice form in back and called the service dept that wants to charge us a lot of $$ to come and look at it. $89 just to come out and then minimum of $100 to start repair. Our unit is only 1.3 years old.

It's a great freezer, we have ours now for nearly 3 years. But yes, it has to be defrosted from time to time. I used it to store breast milk and later homemade baby food. Thus it was opened/closed multiple times throughout the day. Each time new air and moisture enters they will be frozen.

manual defrost and quite messy. have to empty the refrigerator of everything, shut it off. and line the shelves and floor with towels. I dont know of any little refrigerators that are self-defrosting.

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!

The freezer does develop a little ice spot in the front near the door on the ceiling. But the freezer comes with an ice scraper to scrape it off. Doesn't take long at all. I have not noticed any major icy frost build up any where else in the freezer. It is relatively quiet. I store my freezer in my son's nursery as it houses his milk. It does cycle on and off but it is quieter than the fridge in your kitchen. A low hum that isn't really noticeable amongst the other background noise in the home. It does not rattle and shudder like some fridges.

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

Yes. Some people seem to be worried when it's defrosting, but it's just a cycle nothing to worry about.

There is no freezer. However, the cooling tubing is vertical along the inner back wall and it is still possible that that could frost over. As an automatic feature, when the compressor cycles off, the frost melts, runoff is captured in a trough and drains through a hole at the base of the inner back wall to an evaporation tray below the compressor. Once you get your temp set to your satisfaction, just check every so often that the drain hole isn't plugged by debris or whatever.

yes. the condensation from the air freezes on the condenser coils. it has to heat up to defrost when the condenser coils are frosted over.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

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

I have had my unit plugged up to my 7 cubic foot unit for a couple of months now and have not had any issues. This unit simply turns off your freezer when it hits the temp you set it at. The freezer will kick back on within 2 to 3 degrees of what its set at. Very simple device that wont damage your freezer

Yes it does and it goes into defrost mode several times a day. It also has a mode to take the humidity out of the air if needed!

The unit will display the max and min temps it will not record day and times. If you see the max temp on the freezer was 45deg and the present temp is 0 then the items in the freezer were refrozen. The same fill be true forthe fridge. This condition would probably happen during a power outage. Hope this helps.

now there's a question you don't get every day! Yes, it really stays cold. My mom has been using this freezer in Assisted Living for over a year w/no issues - she keeps ice cream in it.

I've had no frost build up yet, so I don't know about the defrosting mechanism.
