What is the difference between frost free and auto defrost in a freezer?

A frost-free freezer regulates the temperature at a level to prevent the build-up of too much frost - so that it should never need defrosting by the user. The internal temperature is low enough to keep the food frozen - but not low enough to allow a build-up of frost. An auto-defrost freezer allows a layer of frost to build up over time - when it reaches a preset level - the appliance raises the temperature enough for the frost to melt (but maintains the working temperature to keep the food frozen).

Besides the obvious are there any benefits to having a frost free freezer instead of a freezer that I have to manually defrost?
I believe the obvious would be the benefit, you would not have to manually defrost the freezer, bbesides that there is no difference.
Why does a self defrosting freezer have frost?
It is possible that the defrost timer is bad or that there is a leaking gasket on the door. IF the frost appears far in the freezer, it is probably the defrost timer. If the frost is built up near the inside edges of the door, the gasket is loose or bad

Why does frost form in a frost free freezer?
Frost can form in a frost-free freezer if the door is frequently opened, allowing warm, moist air to enter and create condensation that freezes. Additionally, if the freezer is overfilled, air circulation may be restricted, leading to frost buildup.
Freezer is covered in frost. Do I need a repair man?
This is an easy fix. Just unplug it and let it defrost for several hours and then wipe clean. Make sure you discard any food that you are unsure of and try not to let the frost get so bad again.
Why does ice form on the freezer walls and how is it prevented?
There are a number of reasons ice will develop in a freezer.1. Warm air can seep in through an improperly closed or not sealed door causing the air to freeze on the evaporator coils. This will also happen if the door has been left open too long.2. An auto defrost fan should be keeping moisture out of the freezer to not cause ice to form, if this is not happening, the fan could be damaged.3. Typically a self-defrosting freezer will defrost themselves every 6 to 12 hrs., by turning off the compressor and turning on the defrost heater. If any part of the compressor is damaged, the self defrost feature will not work and frost will occur.4. Low refrigerant levels can cause frost. Low levels can produce warm gas to run over the coils and then freeze.
