How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before checking heater circuits.
Steps:
- 1. Environmental check: High humidity environments can cause some exterior condensation. Ensure adequate room ventilation.
- 2. Inspect gaskets: Replace damaged door gaskets to reduce warm, moist air infiltration.
- 3. Check door heaters: Some Hansa models have heaters around the door frame. Access the wiring (usually behind front trim) and test for continuity. Replace the door frame heater if open.
- 4. Door alignment: Adjust hinges to ensure a tight, even seal.
Note: Slight condensation can be normal in very humid conditions, but persistent moisture may indicate a fault.
