    Hi. Defrosted my freezer then restarted and restocked. All fine for about 12 hrs. I then noticed appliance had gone quiet (no usual gentle hum)
    I emptied out cleaned again including rear drain. Hovered the back just dust and cobwebs.
    plugged back in and all restarted!
    …for about an hour.
    Now, fast freeze is working but if I turn that off..silence. engineer cant come till Thursday. SMEG is 11 years old.
    ANY ideas?
    Thanks

    When you say it runs for an hour then stops, is the freezer cold? the “humming” sound wont always be there due to the compressor cycle, if you turn off fast freeze and wait for comp to stop (silence with no hum) open the door and feel inside to see if its cold, if it is leave door open for a while and see if the comp kicks back in.

    sorry just to edit the post again was there a reason you defrosted it?
