frost-free freezer is full of ice at bottom?

Switch freezer off.Take out all the trays. Undo the screws holding the back panel. remove the back panel. You will then find that the freezer coils which have been hidden by the back panel, are completely covered with ice. Get a hair dryer and melt all the ice off the coils . Ensure that the drain hole at the bottom of the back panel , is free of ice so that the water formed when the ice melts, can drain away. replace the back panel. put the trays back and switch the freezer on

So am I (on a Bosch classic frost free) - I am in the process of major defrost and dry out as ice has formed on frost free gizmo - if this doesn't work I guess it's a bin job and either take out extended warranty next time or buy a good old fashioned one with no microprocessor!

I don't know, but I'm having the same problem with my brand new whirlpool freezer-on-the-bottom freezer. wish i could find an answer!
