How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to open the sealed system. Refrigerant work must be done by certified personnel.
User checks:
- Clean condenser: Ensure the condenser coil is completely clean and the fan is running properly.
- Check ambient temperature: Verify the room temperature is within the operating range specified by De Dietrich.
- Observe frost pattern: After 20–30 minutes of operation, inspect the evaporator plate. A small patch of frost or none at all suggests a sealed system issue.
Next step: If airflow and ambient conditions are correct but cooling is inadequate, contact an authorized service center for sealed system repair.
