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

Dirty condenser coil, High ambient temperature, Partial refrigerant loss, Scale buildup on evaporator, Weak compressor

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.

Improvement steps:

Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser fins thoroughly to improve heat rejection.
Check room conditions: Ensure ambient temperature is within SMEG's specified range and that the unit has proper ventilation.
Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle to restore efficient heat transfer.
Monitor cycle times: If cycles remain abnormally long after cleaning, a sealed system or compressor issue may be present and requires professional service.
