Troubleshooting

Check if the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the door is closing properly and not being blocked. Verify that the condenser coils at the back are clean and free from dust. Check for adequate ventilation around the unit.
Excessive frost build-up in the freezer

Water leaking inside or outside the fridge
Check the defrost drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment; it may be blocked. Clear any blockage with a soft pipe cleaner. Ensure the appliance is level so water drains correctly.
