Can your freezer cope in the heat?
wE NOTICED THAT ONE OF OUR FREEZERS (Iceland) REALLY STRAINED TO COPE WITH THE 101 C HEAT YEsTERDAY. i HAD TO TURN IT FULL UP AS MOST OF THE FOOD HAD DEFROSTED, ALL THE ICECREAM MELTED OUT OF THE BOTTOM. mY OTHER FRIDGE/FREEZER (hOTPOINT) WAS FINE.
I am seriously wondering whether to take it with us now. It is 2 years old. One of the removal companies said they don't always work properly out there.
Did you have a problem with yours?Are you going to leave it here?
(sorry about the capitals, I didn't notice until it was typed!)

I remember reading somewhere (please dont shoot me if i'm wrong) that uk fradges and freezers are only made to work in temps up to the high 20's where as in aus they are made to work in temps up to 40 odd degrees, i'm sure i read it on here so try doing a search and see what comes up!

I am going to have to make an insurance claim as I just checked inside and all of the food is soft. I think the frost free got frost built up on it and died. Oh well I will have to cope without it for the next few months.
