Default Freezers / F.Freezers - mine just died - any recomendations?

Hi,

My freezer just died this morning - after 15+ years of service! It was
an upright freezer only.

I've replaced my fridge some years back back this Electrolux just kept
going - until this morning. So, any makes to avoid or any that stand
out?

Otherwise I guess I'll just looka round and take a chance.

Thanks for any advice.


Bekos are rebadges Hotpoints, and I've got a Beko frost free which on a
couple of occasions has just mushed along at 0C in the freezer compartment.
Its to do with a build up of ice on the heat exchanger. Its easy enough to
snap it back into operation ( hairdryer directed into the fanhole at the
back of the freezer for 5 minutes ) but I've heard others complain about a
similar fault so it might be one to ok out for.

Get an energy class A frost-free freezer is my advice, if they work properly
its a great advance on defrosting the freezer and hacking ice out every so
often.

Andy.
