How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before inspecting electrical heaters.
- 1. Inspect gasket: Check for gaps or tears and replace if necessary.
- 2. Reduce humidity: If possible, lower room humidity or avoid placing the freezer in damp areas like unconditioned basements.
- 3. Check mullion heater (if equipped): Some Electrolux models have a heater around the door frame. Access wiring and test for continuity. Replace the mullion heater if open.
- 4. Limit door openings: Minimize frequent or prolonged door openings, which introduce moist air.
