Reena Hepburn: The water from defrosting should run down the back wall and be channeled through a small hole at the bottom out to a small tray on top of the main compressor where it evaporates. If the hole is blocked the water can instead run into the base of the appliance. janeinbushey: Sensors and pcb’s shouldn’t be too expensive to replace, a mid-price repair I would have thought.

If the fault were a sensor or pcb, are these costly things to repair, or in view of the age of the unit, should I be thinking about replacing it? Thank you. Thank you so much for your speedy reply.

The fridge section gets too cold and starts to freeze the contents. Changing the temp dial makes no difference. On 3 occasions we have defrosted the whole FF and the problem has gone, only to return after a time. Most recently, we only had two weeks before it started freezing produce again. Any ideas what the cause might be or is it time to invest in a new one? Thank you Our 9 year old Hoover frost-free fridge/freezer has a recurring fault.
