Condenser temperature or ventilation alarm; display shows AL07, compressor runs hot, and the unit may be noisy.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning coils or working near the compressor and fan. Coils and compressor can be hot.

Step 1 – Improve ventilation:

• Verify that the installation follows Fhiaba's clearance requirements for built-in units (top, sides, and rear ventilation paths must be open).
• Remove any items blocking the toe-kick or upper ventilation grills.

Step 2 – Clean condenser coils:

• Remove the lower front grille or rear access panel to expose the condenser.
• Use a soft brush and vacuum to gently remove dust and lint from the condenser fins and surrounding area.
• Avoid bending fins; do not use water unless the manufacturer explicitly allows it.

Step 3 – Check condenser fan operation:

• With the panel removed and power restored, observe the condenser fan when the compressor is running.
• If the fan does not run, is noisy, or starts slowly, the condenser fan motor may be failing.
• Unplug the unit and inspect the fan blades for obstructions; clear debris and retest.

Step 4 – Reset and monitor:

• After cleaning and ensuring proper airflow, reset the alarm via the control panel.
• Monitor operation for several hours. If AL07 returns, the fan motor or control board temperature sensing may require professional service.
