She isnt getting cold enough in the freezer section.She will freeze but it takes a couple of days for newly added stuff to freeze.The fridge is working fine.

According to the freezer thermomitor its not going low enough.

I had a look around the back,and the defrost timer is full of water.And is rusty inside.

Iv just disconected the defrost timer and it appears to be getting warmer in the freezer.Any ideas on what is wrong .The wire to the timer has a sponge wrapped round it,this is soaked.
You can not disconnect the timer and expect it to work… doing so will stop the power supply to the compressor and/or defrost cycle.

Change the timer if it’s rusty and add drainage to prevent the cover filling up with water.

In my daft logic i was hoping it might make it act like a non frost free freezer.

Iv got a new timer ordered it should be here wednesday.In the mean time ive turned her off.So the ice build up behind the drawers melts away.I wont turn it on until iv fitted the new timer.

How would i best go about improving drainage? Shouldnt it be able to cope its self?

What do you suggest i do.
Many thanks

I just drill a small 4mm hole in the timer housing (at the lowest point) to prevent water gathering over time.
