I've worked with 4 of these units, two had the problem, two didn't. Long story short, the problem won't go away until you have the Peltier unit replaced. That is not normal ice buildup.

This causes the tissue to stick to the stationary heat extractor which causes significant problems cutting frozen sections. The engineer has serviced the machine several times, but recognizes this as "normal ice buildup". We manually defrost the unit 2-3 times a day, but it does not seem to help. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, and if so, what are they doing about it? Thank you.
