Yes, that was my first thought, having had two Hotpoints become
water[ice]-logged, although in both cases it was the bottom of
the cabinet where their insulation failed. I fixed one by stripping
off the insulation and replacing it with expanding foam quite
successfully. However, the second patient never came round from
the anaesthetic after the operation -- the compressor burned out
a few minutes after switchon. It didn't survive being tipped up
to have a new foam bottom installed, rather like having a fatal
heart attack in the recovery room.
