10year (at least) freezer has started to hover around the -10 temperature and not reaching the -18 set. I have checked the rear which seems quite clean, cannot find the condenser coils. The I can hear the freezer working and stops when the door is opened. There is a ‘super cool’ function and the freezer seems to work harder when this is pressed but the temperature does not alter. This started suddenly and was not a slow decline in performance. Any help welcomed. I’m reasonably handy so could undertake most repairs if possible.
Thanks in advance.by the look of it this is a self defrost unit
sometimes they get blocked with ice and the only answer is a total defrost
switch off , door open , 2 days
then see how it goes

Thanks Dave.
While waiting for a response I just had another look and think you have hit the nail on the head. There is a plastic vented plate in the inside of the freezer at the top which I couldn’t get off. I have applied a bit of force and managed to remove it and the whole space is full of ice.
Just have to find somewhere to put all the food now.
