Normal condenser heat routing, Dirty condenser coils increasing heat, Door gasket not sealing causing warm moist air infiltration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning coils.

Steps:

  • Clean condenser coils: Use a coil brush and vacuum to remove dust from coils to reduce heat buildup.
  • Check door gaskets: Inspect for gaps or tears. Replace gaskets if they do not seal properly.
  • Verify normal operation: Slight warmth around door edges is normal on many Magic Chef models, as condenser heat is routed there to reduce condensation.
