One answer is that fridge has auto defrost and another answer states it has no freezer. I'm confused!

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.

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.

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.

I fill mine completely with ice then add ice cold water from the fridge, when it is kept in an air conditioned setting I have had ice last to the next day. When I add room temp water to the ice I still have ice at the end of the day, but not much.

There is no freezer at all. That's why I chose it, just to keep some cold drinks in my home office while I work.

Idk if you read the directions but once you move the fridge to it's location of where you want it, you have to let it sit without turning it on for an hour because the gas is all scrambled. once its been an hour, then turn it on all the way. After another hour of not opening the fridge and having it turned up all the way it should already be getting cold. If it still isn't then I'd return it. We waited 24Hrs before adding anything into the fridge. It's worked great. I hope this helps.

I should have added that I bought a freezer thermometer to keep inside and see how cold it was - worked great. They should at least include a thermometer that is readable from outside to avoid opening up to see if it is working - and letting hot air in / cold air out.

Maybe the liquid in the container isn't freezing (ahead of time, in the freezer) like it should. I'd contact Cuisinart directly.

Mine never froze. And it has the mildewy looking brownish blackish stuff floating in the water. I dont know if the seal was not sealed on some or if this has anything to do with why mine wont freeze, but I wasted 30 bucks on two of these after extensive research on youtube, thinking that it would actually work. It doesnt. I am hesitant to throw it out in case I ever get a deep freezer or something. BUT mine never froze:( I was looking forward to it too.

I've had no frost build up yet, so I don't know about the defrosting mechanism.

It didnt take long to defrost. I did a trial run with this product. I placed it in a foil thermal wrap with a frozen ice container. Didnt last long, but my ice container was still frozen

Dunno. Is it a fridge? If so buy it at your risk.. . My LG big expensive double door.. has a major design flaw. The cold air recirculation vents in the deep freeze are too small, so that it rapidly, in a couple of weeks, ices up. The auto-defroster cannot handle it. The circulation fan starts clunking as it hits the ice buildup behind the deepfreezer. . I have to do a manual defrost. I have cut the holess much bigger and it's better, but still needs a manual defrost. This last time I made the holes enormous, so lets see if that helps. If I just left it alone, and not manual defrosted, the deice sensor burns out and and that costs $$$. It has already burnt out 2, thats why I have to fiddle with it. Maybe LG just churn out new product and hope for the best, with little or no testing. If somebody gave me an LG fridge as a present, I would refuse it!!

Not entirely sure but I keep my soda, tea, and waters in there and they're always cold. No complaints with this fridge, great for the price! Hope that helps

Hi, it appears that the freezer compartment is the cooler for the entire fridge. The control knob is a part of the freezer but I can't be 100 % certain that there isn't a way to take it apart because it's completely frosted over right now and I can't inspect it properly! My guess is no. But you can use the freezer as regular fridge space for some things because it isn't all that cold. I put some ice cream in there and it got soft. It didn't melt and make a runny mess but it was not frozen.

I purchased a small refrigerator at Costco. I've seen them also at Sam's and Walmart. This small unit had no freezer section. I only needed it to maintain a constant temp inside so my beer batch would age properly. Hope this helps.

Kind of. Freezers don't cool in the same way a fridge does. If you want to convert it to a charcuterie cave that does not get opened often the freezer would be adequate but not ideal. If you just want to convert it to a regular fridge I would say no simply because you would open and close it too often and it would not rebound to the correct temp efficiently.
