Freezer runs but does not get cold enough; temperature stays around -5°C to 0°C even after many hours.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before cleaning coils or working near the compressor.
- Clean condenser coils: Use a brush and vacuum to remove dust from the condenser at the rear or bottom. This is a common cause of poor cooling in Logik freezers.
- Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for gaps or damage. Close the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak. Replace the gasket if necessary.
- Check ambient conditions: Ensure the freezer is not installed in a very hot room or direct sunlight, which can reduce performance.
- Monitor frost pattern: If you can access the evaporator, remove the inner rear panel and observe the frost pattern after 20–30 minutes of running. A healthy system shows even frost across most of the coil. Frost only on a small section suggests a sealed system problem.
When to call a technician: If cleaning and gasket replacement do not restore proper temperatures, and the frost pattern is abnormal, a professional sealed system diagnosis is required.
