Re: non-frost free freezer thawing / refreezing

Forgive me for taking the slightest interest in finding out what short cycling was.

Re: non-frost free freezer thawing / refreezing

Forgive my ignorance, but upon reading up on ‘short cycling’ it appears that the compressor would be switching on and off every few minutes (according to every description I have read so far).

That does not happen. From a standing start the freezer will freeze to the correct temperature (with the compressor running constantly for a few hours) and once frozen will cut off as normal. It then stays off until it has started to defrost.

It just seems that the thermostat is not asking for the compressor to come back on soon enough.
