How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before removing internal panels.

  • Verify fan operation: On no-frost models, listen for the evaporator fan when the door is closed (door switch held in). Replace the fan motor if not running.
  • Inspect for ice: Remove the rear internal panel and check for heavy ice on the evaporator. If present, test the defrost system.
  • Check air ducts: Ensure any plastic air channels or baffles are correctly fitted and not broken.
