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.

Hmmm, we'll see .... The Man From Hotpoint is coming tomorrow to look at
our 3-month old Hotpoint Fridge Freezer which no longer fridges (freezer
OK tho').

BTW be warned if buying a Hotpoint that the weasels in their marketing
department (don't know about other makes) have decided that they can call
a machine a 'Frost-Free Fridge Freezer' even if only the Freezer is
frost-free. By their terminology you need a _Fully_ Frost Free Fridge
Freezer (try saying that with a mouth full of cornflakes :-)

Thanks for the replies - lookin around not many upright freezers today
seem a patch on my very old Electrolux. They may be more energy
efficient, but the space inside seems much less for almost the same
dimensions - a Tardis effect

Although frost-free and fridge/freezer seems great, as I have a 3 year
old fridge and space for a freezer, I think I will go for a basic
freezer and not frost free - nice when things work, but too much to go
wrong, especially with a combined FF.
