This will be an iced up drian hole in the freezer.
It is best not to dismatle your self with out repair Knowledge.

If you can get someone to look after your food for a couple of days. Turn of the fridge freezer for 48 hours and leave the doors open to allow it to thaw out.

If the problem returns the the no frost prob may be on its way out not allowing the the freezer to fully defrost.

Thanks, will try turning it off for a day or so and then see how it goes.

Re: Diplomat APM6855

cokkee you need to turn it off for more than a day. hence recommendation for 48 hrs – AT LEAST! too many people think 24 hours is enough because the ice they can see has melted, yet the cause is the ice you cant see, hidden deep within the carcass, hence a 48-72hr downtime.

not sure where the drain hole is in the freezer, as its supposed to be a sealed container?? i think samuri might be talking about the drain in the back of the fridge, but that wouldnt normally cause water to collect and freeze in the freezer though.

you could be lucky, and being built in, theres a chance that maybe the door isnt shutting properly, or fully. this allows the hot and relativley humid air to enter and condense in the freezer, where the overall temperature will cause it to freeze, or its frost free system is failing, either way, a 48-72hr defrost is always first port of call.

if it helps, theres a new part of this site, that explains common refrigeration issues, so its worth taking a look at this…

Re: Diplomat APM6855

There is no drain hole in the fridge on this model as it is not a wet wall fridge.
The fridge takes the cold air from the freezer to cool it down.
The drain hole in the freezer can only be accesed by dismantling the back panel in the freezer compartment but this is not a DIY job hence it is best to turn off to defrost it with the doors open for the minimum 48 hours.
