Unhappy Freezing on top shelf only?
Brand: Electrolux
Model Number: FFU21K2CW1
Age: 1 - 4 years

Freezer appeared to stop working although the top shelp remained iced the very top unit was dripping and the other shelves were bare of ice. (I lost alot of thawed product) I moved the freezer around and plugged it in a different outlet, but am now afraid to put anything in it for fear of future loss. Do I just wait or has anyone else experienced this? Manufactured in 11/04/03. Thanks! Karin

That cooling pattern is a sign of low freon. You'll need a repairman to check it out.

Repairman was here and says that the top shelf needs to be defrosted and then it will work. If it does'nt I'm suppose to call him back. It's not a frost free and the other shelves are void of frost. I put half of a pitcher of water on the lower shelf and it only glazed the top with the remaining liquid staying just cold. I'll try his suggestion and let you know if it works. ?
