A small amount of frost inside the machine can be completely normal. As the cooling system works to maintain the correct temperature, light condensation may appear.
If you notice more significant ice build-up, it is usually linked to airflow or ventilation and can often be resolved quickly.
- Check ventilation space
- Make sure there is at least 10 cm of space around the back and sides of the machine.
- Good airflow helps the cooling system operate efficiently. If the machine is placed in a tight space or close to heat-producing appliances, it may struggle to regulate temperature properly.
- Clean the fan area
- Dust can build up over time and reduce airflow.
- This simple maintenance step often restores normal operation.
To clean the fan:
- Switch off and unplug the machine.
- Remove the drip tray and grille.
- Gently clean the fan area with a soft brush or cloth.
- Replace the grille and drip tray before switching the machine back on.
