How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator if you need to remove ice manually.

Steps:

  • 1. Reorganize contents: Move items away from the back wall to allow air circulation.
  • 2. Check vents: Ensure that air inlets and outlets are not blocked by containers or packaging.
  • 3. Inspect gasket near icy area: Look for gaps that may allow moist air to enter. Replace gasket if necessary.
  • 4. Adjust temperature: Increase the set temperature slightly to reduce excessive cooling on the back wall.
  • 5. Defrost area: Allow ice to melt naturally with the unit unplugged; wipe away water.

Warning: Do not use sharp tools to remove localized ice; you can damage the liner.
