Possible Causes

Door not sealing, Frequent door openings, Faulty defrost/harvest cycle, High humidity environment

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before defrosting. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

Defrost:

  • Remove ice and contents from the bin.
  • Allow the unit to sit unplugged with the door open until all frost melts. Use towels to absorb water.

Prevent recurrence:

  • Inspect and replace the door gasket if it is not sealing.
  • Limit door openings and ensure the door closes fully each time.
  • If frost returns quickly, the harvest/defrost system (hot gas valve, sensors, control board) may need professional diagnosis.
