Hi all,

After a bit of advice.

I have a Hisense Fridge Freezer, and while cleaning the long sliding drawer at the bottom of the fridge section (kind of like a chilled drinks drawer), I noticed some ice at the back of the drawer.

Upon pulling the drawer out, looking at the back there are what appear to be two vents.

In the picture, you can see the left vent is clear, and the gap goes back a few cms.
The one on the right is frozen solid.
I managed to chip away all which had formed in front of the vent, and also maybe 20% going back through the vent, but it really is solid all the way through.

In the picture, this visible ice is what has come back over the last week.

I don't understand how the ice is forming.

If something is leaking behind the vent, once that vent is frozen solid, no more ice should come through as the vent is completely blocked, but it does look like ice is forming on the outside too!

Any help please would be great, thank you.

if its frost free try defrosting for 24 hours as you probably have voids filled with ice
