• Make sure the air ducts inside the compartment are not blocked and thus
preventing the circulation of air.
• Make sure food is properly packaged. Dry any wet food containers before
placing them in the appliance.
• Make sure the doors are not opened too frequently. When the door is
opened, the moisture contained in the room air enters the appliance. The
more often the door is opened, the faster moisture accumulates, especially
if the room itself is very humid.
• If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to accumulate inside the
appliance.
• This is normal in hot and humid weather. The pan can even be half full.
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that water does not spill from the pan.
• Are the appliance controls correctly adjusted?
• Has a large amount of food been placed in the appliance?
• Make sure the doors are not opened too frequently and check that the
doors close properly.
• Make sure the air ducts inside the compartment are not blocked and thus
preventing the circulation of cold air.
• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is working.
• Make sure no food packages are blocking the door.
• Make sure the inside parts or the automatic ice-maker are not incorrectly
positioned.
• Make sure the door seals are not dirty or sticky.
• Make sure the appliance is level.
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of your home's
electrical system?
• Is the power cable plugged into a socket powered with the right voltage?
• Is the lamp burnt?
1. Always unplug the appliance.
