How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before defrosting. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.
- Manual defrost: Open the door and allow all ice to melt naturally. Use towels to absorb water.
- Inspect gasket: Check for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace the door gasket if it does not seal evenly.
- Check defrost components: On models with automatic defrost, test the defrost heater and sensor for continuity and correct resistance.
- Improve usage habits: Avoid leaving the door open for long periods and ensure it closes fully after each use.
