Possible Causes
Door gasket leaking warm air, Freezer located in very hot environment, Evaporator heavily frosted due to defrost failure, Low refrigerant charge
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing panels or cleaning coils.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check installation: Ensure at least several centimeters of clearance around the freezer and that it is not placed next to heat sources.
- 2. Inspect door seal: Look for condensation or frost around the door edges, indicating air leaks. Replace the gasket if it is warped or torn.
- 3. Check for frost buildup: Remove the inner rear panel and inspect the evaporator. If encased in ice, troubleshoot the defrost system (sensor, heater, control).
- 4. Monitor temperature: If the unit runs constantly but cannot reach set temperature, a sealed system issue may be present and requires professional service.
