Frost buildup around door edges or on front of freezer drawers

Safety first: Ensure the appliance is unplugged if you need to adjust hinges or remove drawers.

Steps:

• 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure no food packages or containers are preventing the door from closing fully.
• 2. Inspect gasket contact: Look for areas where the gasket does not touch the cabinet. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if slightly deformed.
• 3. Adjust hinges: If the door is not level, adjust the hinge screws to improve alignment.
• 4. Replace gasket: If the seal is torn or permanently deformed, install a new V-ZUG freezer door gasket.
• 5. Defrost affected areas: Manually remove frost by unplugging and allowing it to melt. Do not chip with sharp tools.

Warning: Excess frost reduces efficiency and can strain the compressor; address seal issues promptly.
