How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before defrosting or testing components.

  • Manual defrost: Remove food, unplug the unit, and leave doors open until all ice melts. Use towels to catch water.
  • Check door gaskets: Inspect for tears or gaps and replace if necessary.
  • Test defrost components: After defrosting, test the heater and thermostat for continuity with a multimeter. Replace any faulty Cecotec defrost parts.
  • Monitor: If ice returns quickly, the main control board may not be initiating defrost cycles correctly and may need replacement.
