How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before defrosting heavy frost.
Excess frost usually comes from warm, moist air entering the freezer.
- Inspect gasket: Check for gaps, tears, or debris on the freezer door gasket. Clean with warm soapy water.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and is not held open by items inside.
- Defrost manually: Remove food, unplug the unit, and allow frost to melt. Use towels to catch water.
- Adjust or replace gasket: Warm and reshape the gasket if warped. Replace if damaged.
- Monitor usage: Avoid frequent or prolonged door openings, especially in humid environments.
