I'll have a go at that Steptoe - issue is getting other freezer and fridge space without wasting a lot of food in the process :( Might have to wait until it cools down here more then steal a couple of eskies from the peros...

Paul, all seals are in great condition and have been cleaned. It's an internal thing with the rear drainage system I think :(

Cheers

There is usually a drain hole at the back of the inside, with a tube going to the base of the fridge into a drain tray. The drain tray is usually located near the heating element, so the moister can evaporate. I'd be making sure this is all clear.

Yeah I reckon there's something stuck in there. When I pulled it apart last there was a frozen block of ice over the drain hole and the element at the back of the freezer.

When this happened before chipping the ice away did the job. This time it didn't work. Now I have to move and store a lot of food that I don't have to means to store else where at the moment :(

Thanks for the idea though - frustrating that it seems to happen every time we move :evil:
