Possible Causes

Freezer door not sealing, Door left ajar frequently, Damaged or dirty gasket, Misaligned door

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.
