Spoiled food residue in crevices, Mold growth in drain pan, Contaminated door gasket folds, Poor air circulation inside cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer and remove all food before deep cleaning.

  • Thorough cleaning: Wash all interior surfaces of your Fagor freezer with a solution of baking soda and warm water. Remove shelves and baskets for separate cleaning.
  • Clean gasket folds: Gently pull back the door gasket folds and clean inside with mild detergent to remove trapped residues.
  • Drain pan cleaning: Access the drain pan above the compressor and clean it with warm soapy water to remove mold or slime.
  • Deodorize: After cleaning, place an open box of baking soda or activated charcoal inside the freezer for several days to absorb remaining odors.
  • Check for hidden spills: Inspect under drawers and behind panels for any hidden spills or residues.
