Fridge Defrosting Daily

Do the milk test.

Keep in on 3. Buy a 1l milk sachet, and use it till empty (or milk turns sour). Make a note of how long it lasted.

Turn it down to 2. Buy a 1l milk sachet, and repeat the above experiment. If the milk turns sour too quick, then 2 won't work.

Also look at your veggies. If they stay fresher longer on 3 than on 2, keep it on 3.

G'Day Gents; I have the below Defy fridge bought new late 2013:

View attachment 287914

Lately the fridge has been defrosting itself on a daily basis; which is rather unusual; one would find about 2 cups worth of water beneath the crisper box.

The freezer component of the fridge does not have this issue.

Tried every single settings through the past few weeks to allow the fridge to stop defrosting but no luck.


Other than that no complains about the fridge.

Any idea what could be the cause of solution?

The drain hole is blocked. I used a medium sized cable tie to unblock mine.
 
Same problem on another model Defy. Mine freezes the entire outlet hole shut and causes ice build up beneath the crisper box - after a while one cant even get the crisper box in anymore. I sent mine in for repairs - it came back more broken than it was before.

Cant wait to replace my POS Defy with another brand. How is Hisense fridges btw?

Hisense fridges have good things said about them on here. There was a fridge thread. I think I might have actually created it if I am not mistaken. They are apperently very nice. I would have gone for a Hisense if it was available on my rewards program to order, but they only had Defy fridges. The Defy is a bit noisy in my opinion.

Our first chest freezer was a Whirlpool. Did not work from day 1. After a lot of back and forward, and getting nowhere, we loaded it into a trailer and offloaded it at the shop we bought it from.

Got a Defy chest freezer, worked very well.

It all depends on whether Lady Luck is smiling at you....

We've had a Samsung for close on 7 years now and it hasn't missed a beat.

Ja. My sis bought a fancy Samsung Fridge and then sold it to a friend when she moved into another place that came with a new fridge or something. The friend is still using it today. Also about 7 or 8 years old now I would say and never needed repairs or anything. They are a bit expensive though I think.
