    I have a Hoover frost free fridge freezer and keep it on setting 2, (from 0-5). However after about three weeks a large chunk of ice develops on the back of the fridge and i have to pull it away, i’m not sure whether the fridge is faulty of whether the thermostat is too high??

    Can anybody help please.

    Thanks

    Just re read my message and the ice is happening on the inside of the fridge, thought it sounded like it was on the outside from how i’d written it!

    Lara,
    Assuming that the ice is not presently there, you should find a channel running across the lower part of the back wall. At its lowest point there will be a drain hole, connecting to a drain hose. This allows condensation to drain away to the compressor tray to evaporate off. If the hole or hose is blocked, it can cause ice to build up over time. Clean out the hole and see what happens.

    Should this not solve the problem, please post back with the model number, so as more precise information might be given.

    Regards,
    Penguin45.
