Re: Fridge Freezer: Freezer too warm
Many thanks.
To defrost it I just need to figure out to turn the freezer off but leave the fridge on.
One other thing, last night the freezer temperature starting falling at about 9pm / 10pm, after I’d unloaded it, put on the ‘super cool’, moved it away from the wall and opened all the windows in the kitchen, as the temperature outside fell.
Tonight, I moved it away from the wall and opened all of the windows at about the same time and the temperature’s now fallen back to the normal -18 deg C. The kitchen isn’t particularly hot, but I’m wondering if the current heat is a factor, although it’s never struggled in hot weather before.

Re: Hotpoint Mistral: Won’t Freeze

Couple that to the price of a frost free under counter appliance your Bosch would be in the region of £400 which is just to expensive on what would then be a low volume seller.
The only manufacturers I am aware of which produce under counter freezers are Hotpoint and Zanussi.
HTH 🙂

Ah – that explains it. Many thanks

Re: Hotpoint Mistral: Won’t Freeze
I would recommend both. They are from the same BSH stable, well made with a two year warranty on Bosch, Siemens next level up in terms of build and accessories etc. They will cost more but in most instances come with a five year warranty.HTH 🙂

Thanks – much appreciated. The ones I’ve been looking at have a 2 year warranty but, based on your advice, I think I’ll still go for a Siemens.
One thing I’ve been wondering – my 15 year old freezer was a ‘frost free’ one. However none of the ones I’ve looked at (under the counter models) are automatic defrost / frost free. Have things gone backwards over the last 15 years?

I have now … and it made no difference, so given its age I’m assuming it’s a goner. Thanks for the advice.
In terms of replacing it – I can get staff discount on Siemens and Bosch. Would you recommend one or both of those brands?
Thanks,
Michael
