Freezer emits a burning smell or shows signs of overheating around the rear or control panel.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the Candy freezer if you smell burning or see smoke. Do not continue to operate the appliance.

• Inspect rear components: After cooling, remove the rear panel and check the compressor start relay, wiring, and control board for burn marks or melted insulation.
• Check control panel: Remove the control fascia and inspect the UI and display boards for burnt components.
• Replace burnt parts: Any visibly damaged relay, connector, or PCB must be replaced with Candy-compatible parts. Do not attempt to reuse burnt components.
• Inspect power cord and plug: Check for discoloration or melting. Replace the cord set if damaged.
• Test carefully: After repairs, plug the freezer into a properly grounded outlet and monitor closely for any unusual smells or heating.

Warning: Electrical burning smells indicate a serious hazard. If you are not experienced with electrical repairs, contact a qualified technician immediately.
