Frost cover of items in freezer - Hoover 9.9 cu. ft. / 280 liter Upright Freezer HVA280K

To access the No-Frost System located on top of your Miele tall freezer F7462 SNH-1, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the freezer and remove all items from the freezer compartment.
2. Locate the air grille on the top of the freezer.
3. Remove the air grille by pulling it upwards from the front edge.
4. You should now be able to see the No-Frost System behind the air grille.
5. Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris from the No-Frost System.
6. Once you have finished cleaning, replace the air grille by pushing it back into place.

Note: If you are not comfortable accessing the No-Frost System on your own, it is recommended to consult the Miele customer service or a professional technician for assistance.

Unplug the drain tube by shooting hot water down it with a turkey baster. It is located underneath the evaporator.

Hi Dale Dibb, thank you for your inquiry!

I understand that the food inside of your Frigidaire freezer is getting frost on the inside of the packages. I would recommend turning the temperature up inside of your freezer. Additionally moisture inside of the package would cause frost to develop on the inside of the food packages.

Please assure that all possible moisture has been removed out of the food packages prior to placing the items inside of the freezer. If there is anything else that I can help you with, please feel free to reconnect! -Matt

Frost will normally build up if you do not have frost free freezer and in which case it is possible the frost free system is faulty. If it is not frost free then it has to be defrosted a few times in a month. However if the frost comes up very quickly then there are possible causes.
You may be having leakage from the door seals or there are items in the freezer that are not properly covered to avoid moisture escaping. Other possibility is that your freezer is set too cold and there are not many items in it.

Hi Lisa, thank you for your post! New freezers retain colder temperatures. Especially on hot humid days, moisture entering the freezer (when the door is opened) can form frost inside the appliance and moisture collection inside the unit. Reducing energy use to meet government requirements, defrost heaters have shorter run times. Light loads in the freezer also contribute to the problem.


Here are some tips to keep moisture low in the freezer:




Use your air conditioner to reduce humidity.


Arrange shelving and food items so air circulates.


Don't "overload" or leave the freezer empty. It should be at least half full.


Set the controls as recommended in the use and care guide. Manufacturers may suggest different settings for summer and winter.


Properly seal liquids and high moisture foods stored in the unit.


Open the freezer doors as few times as possible.


Clean condenser coils at least twice a year. Check your use and care manual for specific procedures. You'll save energy, too.


Cover pots and pans and use the range hood fan when cooking to reduce moisture in the kitchen.


Check and maintain door gaskets. A good door seal keeps warm moist air out of the freezer.

These tips will help control frost and moisture in your freezer, but won't always eliminate the problem, especially when humidity is excessive. If you have taken all necessary steps to prevent moisture and humidity, you may need to reach out to a professional for further diagnosis.

Hope this information helps resolve this issue.

it is cooling problem.

Your unit is not self defrosting so I would suggest you do a manual defrost and see if it corrects the problem.
Also make sure that you have good air flow across the compressor.

check your seals on the door and see if any on the compartments are broken because if the door is broken to the compartment it could be that the the cold and warmth is mixing causing your freezer to frost up temp could also be to high check all

hope this help

Excess frost especially near the door is caused by door gaskets being bad. The gasket should hold a dollar bill snug.
Another possibility is auto defrost failure. - Remove the cover on the rear inside the freezer to see if the coils are heavily iced.

That is normal. The refrigerant runs through those shelves. They are the evaporator side of the unit.That is where the freezing effect comes from.
Check door seals for leaking air.
Keep door openings to a minimum.
Get in there and get out.
Those things will help prolong frost/ice buildup.
