How can I fixScandinova freezer UF82C?

Details from index Plate Scandinova Type UF82C
Freezer A1348 0 115kg
NFS 240.
S 240. 540-6601150

My Scandinova frost free, front opening freezer gave the following symptoms a few days ago:
The interior started warming after the door had inadvertently been left slightly open for about half an hour and the warning light was flashing.
I closed the door and turned on the fast freeze, but after a few hours it was not getting any colder.
Freezer was emptied, turned off and left overnight. The following morning turned the freezer on again with fast freeze turned on; warning light still flashing and did not stop flashing until I turned off the fast freeze.
Internal temperature would not go lower than about -10c, but light still flashing.
The only way to stop flashing was turn off power for a few seconds, then turn on. That cycle repeated for a few hours, but seems to have settled now. Temperature will now not go below -15 at the top, but is -35c at the bottom. Any suggestions please and likely cost of repair.

it looks like your freezer iced up badley you have to turne it off and make sure its defrosted well and no ice remaining it might take mre then just over night to defrost as if there is just a littel bits of ice on the coil it will build itself so quik once the freezer is on just try that for now
