Ice build-up on the freezer door or around the door opening.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator if performing defrosting.

• Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets or food packages are not protruding and preventing full door closure.
• Inspect gasket: Look for tears or gaps in the freezer door seal. Replace if damaged.
• Defrost: Manually defrost the ice build-up using towels and gentle warm air. Do not use sharp tools.
• Hinge adjustment: Align the freezer door so it seals evenly all around.
