Possible Causes
Dirty condenser coils, Weak compressor, Low refrigerant charge (leak), Evaporator fan not circulating air
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before cleaning or accessing fans.
- Clean condenser: Pull the Ignis freezer away from the wall and vacuum dust from the condenser coils and compressor area.
- Check door seal: Inspect the gasket for gaps and clean it. Warm, moist air infiltration can reduce performance.
- Verify evaporator fan: Open the door and press the door switch; you should hear the fan. If not, inspect and replace the evaporator fan motor if faulty.
If cooling remains weak after these steps, the sealed system (compressor/refrigerant) may be compromised and requires professional service.
