A brief summary of the latest uk.d-i-y discussion on this is that most fridge freezers are very reliable, from the very cheapest to luxury models, with 2 exceptions.

  1. Frost free machines, which tend to suffer fan failures or ice up
  2. Hotpoint frost frees, which have a fair rate of failure of their multiple thermostatic control devices.
