Hansa Frost / Ice Buildup in Non-Design Areas

Visible frost or ice buildup forms on the evaporator lines or inside the cabinet where it should not.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Door or bin not sealing, Excess humidity entering cabinet, Refrigerant charge issues, Poor defrost/harvest performance

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before defrosting.

Inspect door seal: Check gaskets for gaps or damage and replace if necessary.
Defrost unit: Allow the ice maker to thaw completely. Place towels to catch water; do not chip ice with sharp tools.
Reduce humidity: Avoid leaving the bin door open and keep the surrounding area as dry as possible.
Check harvest/defrost: If frost returns quickly, have a technician evaluate the harvest and refrigeration system for proper operation.
