Refrigerator and freezer too warm; compressor runs almost all the time; condenser very hot.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning the rear area.

• Pull out the fridge: Move the Candy refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear.
• Clean condenser: Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust from the condenser coils and surrounding area.
• Check clearance: Ensure there is at least the manufacturer-recommended clearance (often 5–10 cm) behind and above the unit.
• Verify condenser fan: On models with a rear fan, confirm it runs when the compressor is on. Replace the condenser fan motor if it does not operate.
• Re-test temperatures: After cleaning and improving ventilation, allow 12–24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
