Possible Causes

Blocked air vents between freezer and fridge, Evaporator fan not circulating air, Damper flap stuck closed, Door not sealing properly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before removing internal covers.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check loading: Ensure food items are not blocking the rear wall vents in the fridge or freezer. Leave space for air circulation.
  • 2. Inspect door seals: Run a thin strip of paper around the door gasket; if it pulls out easily anywhere, the seal may be faulty or the door misaligned.
  • 3. Listen for fan: With doors closed (or door switch held), listen for the evaporator fan. If not running, see fan fault entries.
  • 4. Check air damper (if fitted): Some Indesit models have a motorized damper between freezer and fridge. Access it from the fridge rear wall and check for ice blockage or mechanical jam. Carefully defrost any ice with warm air.

When to call a technician: If airflow components are fine but A2 persists, sensor or control board faults may be present.
