How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning or removing panels.

  • Clean condenser: Remove the grille and thoroughly vacuum and brush the condenser coil.
  • Check condenser fan: Ensure the fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace if slow, noisy, or not running.
  • Inspect door gasket: Close a thin strip of paper in the door at several points. If it pulls out easily, the gasket may be leaking. Adjust door alignment or replace gasket.
  • Monitor performance: After cleaning and gasket checks, allow 24 hours. If temperatures still do not reach setpoint, a sealed system issue is likely and requires a professional.
