Is this freezer frost free or must it be defrosted?

It's a great freezer, we have ours now for nearly 3 years. But yes, it has to be defrosted from time to time. I used it to store breast milk and later homemade baby food. Thus it was opened/closed multiple times throughout the day. Each time new air and moisture enters they will be frozen.

Quick answer: No.For mine: I have a screwdriver to *gently* chip away any build up frost in the freezer (top) part.For the refrigerator part (bottom): water beads up at the back of the refrigerator and turns hard. But the refrigerator turns off and the water softens and rolls to the bottom where it drains through a hole at the bottom. The freezer part (top) does not have a drain hole.In my opinion, it's nothing serious.

This one has a built in defrost. The indoor and outdoor fan stop running when defrosting (cooling and heating models only). From the user manual: "Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner. ". I live in northeast Texas and its a rather mild climate so heat pumps work well.

I don't know the technical details..BUT the inverter defrost manages to defrost without leaving part of the food frozen, and another portion cooked.

yes. the condensation from the air freezes on the condenser coils. it has to heat up to defrost when the condenser coils are frosted over.

I wouldn't recommend it. The coating seems more like a polyurethane glaze and, unless it was submerged in the stuff, I doubt that the metal is impervious to the cold and moisture in a freezer. I would recommend something made of rubber, coated with an epoxy substance or a freezer-suitable plastic for such use.

Mine sits on the carpet and had not gotten it wet. It is only a fridge so no need to defrost. I've had it for 6 months and I love it!

The makers recommend defrosting in either a pan on the stove or in the microwave. I pop mine out and defrost in the microwave.

I am sorry I really do not know. I bought this as a gift for somebody in Florida so there is no worry for freezing.Sorry I cannot be more help.

It would say in the description if it were frost free. Most small fridges aren't. Having said that, I never had a problem with frost build-up in this fridge.

No. It needs to be periodically defrosted. I have had mine for a little over a year and it is about time.

We have two in our outside kitchen. One does not have a freezer. The second one does have a freezer and is not self defrosting.I would suggest short time use for that freezer.. We use it for company, filled with Ice Cream Bars, etc. It does good for that.Please allow me to add..It was my mistake with counter install. Should have allowed installers to place it more from directsun. This outdoor product does a great job dealing with the temp. changes in our yard.

There is no freezer. However, the cooling tubing is vertical along the inner back wall and it is still possible that that could frost over. As an automatic feature, when the compressor cycles off, the frost melts, runoff is captured in a trough and drains through a hole at the base of the inner back wall to an evaporation tray below the compressor. Once you get your temp set to your satisfaction, just check every so often that the drain hole isn't plugged by debris or whatever.

Check the temperature of the freezer. It needs to be well below freezing before the ice maker will work. Around 0 to 10 degrees F.

It says to serve cold but I can't find anything on the packaging that says that you can't freeze it. For inquiries you can call them at 1-888-836-8977 :)

I don't think this is Freezer safe and I wouldn't recommend to put it in the freezer.

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum
