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.
