How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing rear components.
Steps to check and fix:
- 1. Clean condenser and ensure ventilation: Remove dust from condenser and ensure adequate airflow around the unit.
- 2. Check door seal: Inspect and replace the gasket if it does not seal properly.
- 3. Verify ambient conditions: Ensure the cooler is not installed in an environment hotter than specified by Vestfrost.
- 4. Monitor performance: If the compressor still runs constantly and cannot reach set temperature, a sealed-system issue is likely and requires a professional technician.
