Possible Causes

Blocked defrost drain, Drain tube frozen inside cabinet, Misaligned drain trough, Excessive door openings causing heavy frost

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer and place towels to absorb melting ice.

  • Remove ice: Take out the bottom drawer and chip away loose ice with a plastic tool. Do not use metal tools.
  • Clear drain hole: Locate the drain at the back of the Fagor freezer floor or under the evaporator and flush with hot water until it flows freely.
  • Warm drain tube: Use a hair dryer on low at the rear where the drain tube enters the cabinet to melt internal ice.
  • Reduce frost load: Limit door openings and ensure the door gasket seals properly to reduce future ice formation.
