Possible Causes
Items touching rear wall, High humidity loading, Thermostat set too cold, Defrost drain partially blocked
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before extended defrosting or cleaning.
Steps to reduce ice on back wall:
- 1. Reorganize contents: Keep food containers a few centimeters away from the rear wall to allow air circulation.
- 2. Adjust temperature: Raise the fridge temperature slightly if it is set very cold.
- 3. Limit moisture: Cover liquids and avoid placing hot food directly into the fridge.
- 4. Clear drain: Ensure the defrost drain at the back is not blocked so meltwater can escape.
- 5. Manual defrost: If ice is thick, turn off the fridge and allow it to melt completely before restarting.
