How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before defrosting. Place towels to catch melting ice and water.
Steps to address frost:
- Manual defrost: Leave the doors open until all ice melts. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.
- Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for damage or gaps. Replace if it does not seal properly.
- Verify door usage: Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings, especially in humid conditions.
- Test defrost components: If frost returns quickly, test the defrost heater, thermal fuse/thermostat, and evaporator sensor as described under E8 and E4.
When to call a professional: If you are not comfortable testing electrical components, contact a technician.
