If it can be easily pulled out when the door is closed, the seal is not tight. Cleaning with warm water will help; damaged rubber seals need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clean the drain hole: The small drain channel at the bottom of the back wall can easily become clogged. Carefully clean the hole with a cotton swab or the plastic plunger provided to allow the condensation to drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set the temperature: Set the thermostat to a medium temperature (ideally 5 to 7\u00b0C or setting 2 to 3 for the rotary knobs). Excessive cooling promotes ice formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure proper air circulation: Food should not be in direct contact with the back wall. Maintain a gap of at least 2-3 cm to allow air circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid hot food: Always let food cool completely to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the layer of ice is already very thick, switch off the appliance for 24 hours to allow it to defrost completely. If the problem persists, the thermostat or the No-Frost heating element is usually faulty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ice buildup on the back is usually caused by excessive humidity inside the refrigerator or a faulty seal.
