Possible Causes

Blocked air vents, Overpacked shelves restricting airflow, Evaporator fan weak or partially obstructed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before moving shelves or accessing vents if panels must be removed.

Steps:

  • Locate air vents: Identify supply and return vents in the liner (usually at the back and top).
  • Rearrange contents: Keep vents clear of boxes and bags. Avoid overpacking shelves; allow space for air to circulate.
  • Check fan operation: Ensure the evaporator fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if weak or intermittent.
  • Use baskets: Organize items in baskets to improve airflow and reduce blocking of vents.
