How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before cleaning the condenser.
Steps:
- Pull the freezer away from the wall and locate the condenser at the rear or underneath.
- Clean dust and lint from the condenser using a soft brush and vacuum.
- Inspect the door gasket for gaps or damage; clean and replace if it does not seal properly.
- Ensure the freezer has adequate ventilation space around it and is not installed in a very hot environment.
