Water pooling at the bottom of the freezer or on the floor in front of the unit.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before removing internal panels or using hot water.

• Locate drain: On frost-free Zanussi freezers, a small defrost drain hole is usually located beneath the evaporator behind the internal rear panel.
• Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner or flexible plastic rod to gently clear debris from the drain hole. Do not use metal objects that can puncture the liner.
• Flush with warm water: Using a turkey baster or syringe, flush warm (not boiling) water through the drain until it flows freely into the drain pan above the compressor.
• Check drain tube: From the rear, inspect the drain tube leading to the drip tray. Ensure it is not kinked or frozen.
• Inspect door seal: A poor seal can cause excessive frost and meltwater. Replace the door gasket if necessary.
