How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing internal components.
- Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from coils to improve cooling efficiency.
- Check evaporator fan: Confirm the fan runs when the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
- Observe evaporator: Look for a uniform frost pattern on the evaporator plate. A partial pattern suggests a sealed system issue requiring professional service.
- Call a technician: If airflow is good but freezing is weak, contact an authorized Electrolux technician to evaluate the sealed system.
