BODEGA43 Excessive Frost Accumulation

Frost or ice buildup on the back wall or around the evaporator area inside the cabinet.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Door gasket leak allowing moist air in, Defective defrost sensor or heater, Evaporator fan not circulating air, Frequent door openings

Safety: Unplug the unit before defrosting. Place towels to catch melting ice.

Steps:

Manual defrost: Remove all bottles and shelves. Leave the door open and allow ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp tools to chip ice.
Check gasket and door: Inspect and repair/replace the door gasket to prevent warm, moist air ingress.
Inspect fan: Ensure the evaporator fan runs properly and is not blocked by ice.
Defrost system: If frost returns quickly, test the defrost sensor and defrost heater (if equipped) and replace as needed.
