Cabinet or door exterior feels hot to the touch

Safety: Mild warmth can be normal, but excessive heat should be investigated.

• Check installation: Ensure proper clearances around the unit and that it is not built into a tight enclosure unless designed for built‑in use.
• Clean condenser: Remove dust from the condenser coil and fan area.
• Ambient temperature: Move the unit to a cooler location if room temperature is very high.
• Door heater control: Some models have a door heater that can be toggled. If available, set it to energy‑saving or off to reduce heat.
