Heavy frost buildup on food and walls, especially near the door

Safety: Unplug before adjusting hinges or replacing gaskets.

• Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Close the door on a strip of paper at several points; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak.
• Clean gasket: Wipe the gasket and mating surfaces with warm soapy water to remove dirt and improve sealing.
• Adjust hinges: If the door is sagging, adjust the hinges according to the service instructions so the door closes squarely.
• Replace gasket: If damaged, fit a new Bauknecht door gasket, warming it slightly to help it seat and seal properly.
• Usage habits: Minimize door opening time and cover moist foods to reduce frost formation.
