There is moisture on the inner base of my Indesit freezers
Moisture or droplets of water on the inner base of your appliance are usually associated with a blocked gutter outlet on the rear inner wall; they could also be caused by items touching the back wall of the appliance.
We recommend you clear any obstruction from the gutter outlet using a drinking straw or pipe cleaner for example then mop up the water on the base and this should cure the problem. Please see user manual for more information.

How should I defrost my Indesit freezers and how often should I do this?

Frost and ice is appearing on the basket fronts of my Indesit frost-free freezers?
Small amounts of delicate frost will often appear on the basket fronts if the doors of the appliance are left ajar for any length of time.
Avoid leaving the doors open for longer than is absolutely necessary and also remember to cover all food and liquids either in a bag or other plastic container.
You must also always use the genuine ice cube tray inside an Indesit frost-free appliance, which has a fitted lid to keep the moisture from entering the system.

My Indesit freezers seems to be running all the time
Your Indesit freezers is designed to achieve lower operating temperatures so it will appear to run for longer than an adjacent refrigerator.
It will run for as long as is required to achieve the correct operational conditions whilst consuming the minimum of energy during this process.
Below are a few reasons why your Indesit freezers may appear to run for longer:
• Position – Is it near a heat source i.e. cooker, window, and heater or is it the time of year?
• Ventilation – Is there enough air circulation around the cabinet exterior – Check the position.
The freezer must achieve -18C to be safe. The lower the temperature, the longer the appliance will run. Try adjusting the thermostat.

My Indesit frost-free freezers seems very noisy compared to my old appliance
Your Indesit frost-free appliance utilises a series of internal and external fans during its normal operation so there will be a slight increase in the operating noises. This is quite normal so do not worry if you hear one or two different sounds than those you heard with your old appliance.
If you are hearing a cracking noise then this is perfectly normal. Your freezers will defrost itself usually once a day and during this time the ice melts. Just like when ice cubes melt in a drink a cracking sound may be heard.
If you need further assistance please call Indesit customer service on 0344 822 4224
Where do the defrosted ice droplets on the freezers go?
The melted water produced when your Indesit appliance auto defrosts itself goes to a water collection point on the rear of your appliance that sits above the compressor. As the compressor gets warm during everyday usage the resultant moisture is evaporated.
Should the water container described above get contaminated by spillages within the appliance or foreign bodies getting into the water drip tray itself then we recommend using our fridge cleaner sanitising fridge cleaner. Simply spray onto any internal or external parts of your appliance and wipe away.

My Indesit appliance is unstable
When you have a new appliance you sometimes find that your appliance feels slightly unstable.
It is vitally important, that all four corners of your appliance are in contact with the floor. Failure to level your Indesit freezers can result in an increase in the noise levels. You may also find on some of our taller Indesit freezers that failure to level the feet will give the impression of the Indesit freezers doors having drooped on one side.
To level your Indesit freezers it is recommended that you get help from a second person to hold the appliance whilst you lift the front feet slightly off the ground then adjust one or both feet until you get a satisfactory level again.
To rectify a dropped door we recommend that you lengthen the foot on the hinged side of the Indesit freezers, leave the appliance for a day or so and this should disappear.
