Re: Miele No Frost KF7542 SN
The defrost worked a treat on my fridge (I’m kevw1972) and its now working perfectly. After defrost I left it on super cool overnight before re-stocking and it hit a record minus 41oC!!!!!!!!!!! Brrrrrr.
I took the panel off the inside of the freezer unit and exposed lots of nice inner workings, which were completeley encased in masses of ice. There was so much it took about 40 mins with a hair dryer to melt it all.
The lesson I have leared is that frost free freezers do need to be defrosted regularly, even very expensive ones, and the support lines at Miele are totally useless. All they did for me was give me the number of their local Miele approved engineer, they could have easily spotted the symptoms of a freezer in need of defrost, but I had to come to this forum instead. Boo to Miele, cheers to ukwhitegoods!
As to how what the best way to defrost is, its probably not to do it my way with a hairdryer, but to leave it off for a few days to let nature take its course. I didnt want to wait and didn’t want a huge puddle either, but I knew the risks of taking bits off and my warrantee had expired anyway.

Neermal – I have the very same model Miele F/F and the exact same thing is happening to mine. Sudden drop from -18 to -9, then it has settled at -6 with the occasional jump up a couple of degrees.
I will try the total defrost over next day or so – can you let me know if it worked for you. If it didn’t what did you do? I have tried Miele and their callout charge for a Miele engineer is £87.50 !!!!!!!!!!!!! They are having a laugh.
