It ran for around 10 hours yesterday, freezing up again OK on ‘Fast Freeze’ without any mechanical noises, then the beeping started again… with a solid red light this time.
Took control panel off again and triggered the reset. Started up again without Fast Freeze and has now been OK for around 14 hours.
Definitely something not happy in there but seems to be working for now….

Hmmm, now here’s a weird one. Working on the notion that the control knob wasn’t doing anything I removed the panel it’s on. On the back of the knob I could see a little ‘spindle’ which wasn’t moving when I turned the knob. I turned it to the reset position and the beeping stopped. I was then also able to press the ‘fast freeze’ button which hadn’t been responding previously.
Currently running without beeps and with Fast Freeze light on. Don’t actually think the freezer is doing anything, can’t hear if anything is running because the kitchen is so noisy, Christmas dinner will be on table shortly. Will leave for a few hours and see how it goes…. I expect a return of the grinding noise and warning beeps/light or more likely nothing at all

It’s a built in unit so bit of a faff to get at back of it… any merit in taking it out and hoovering the back of it? Have read that in a few places.
It’s been in situ for over 5 years

Thanks

Have plugged it in again after 4 hours plus+
No change… still beeping. Unable to reset using the temp control knob

Plugged it in again after 45 mins… no change.
Yes, a lot of the food will be going in the bin 🙁

Hi, thanks. A chap on another forum suggested leaving it unplugged for 4 hours… going to try that

It’s now making a nasty grinding noise….
