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.
