Exterior side walls of freezer feel very hot to the touch.

Safety first: Ensure children do not lean against very hot surfaces; unplug the unit if you smell burning.

• Improve ventilation: Move the Fagor freezer away from walls to allow at least several centimeters of clearance on all sides and above.
• Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coils and grille to improve heat dissipation.
• Check ambient temperature: Ensure the room is within the specified operating range. Very hot rooms will cause hotter cabinet walls.
• Monitor operation: If surfaces remain excessively hot and the compressor runs constantly, have a technician check for sealed system or control issues.
