How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or inspecting internal components. Do not attempt sealed system repairs without certification.
- Clean condenser coil: Remove rear panel and brush/vacuum dust from the condenser fins.
- Verify fan operation: Ensure the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on.
- Check evaporator frost pattern: After 10–15 minutes of operation, the evaporator plate should have an even frost layer. A small patch of frost or none at all suggests a sealed system issue.
- If airflow and fans are good but there is still no frost and no ice, contact a qualified refrigeration technician for leak detection and recharge or compressor diagnosis.
