    Our FF has recently started making the alarm noise indicating the freezer is not cold enough + the display for the freezer shows dashes. Seems to be OK after pressing the button to do the intensive freeze thing. All seems cold enough but haven’t got a thermometer to test with.

    Any obvious things to look for?

    Is it coincidence that this happens at night now that it is quite cold?

    Thanks

    Hi Adam

    Does this happen at roughly the same time each night?
    The reason I ask this as the unit has a frost free freezer which will go into a defrost cycle every 12 or 24hours ( depends on system used). While it is in the defrost mode it will bring on a heater to clear the ice and the heat from this can cause the sensor to believe that the unit is defrosting. If the food is ok and it happens at roughly the same time each night, them this is possibly the problem. Switching off the unit and switching back on a couple of hours later will also prove the point as the time of defrost will change to roughly the time it was switched back on.
    Also make sure unit is not overloaded and that the air can flow easily through the baskets

    Hope this information is of help

    Thanks – have done some more checking and it looks like this is the same problem as the Whirlpool problem. I think the branding is different but the components seem to be the same.
