Question 4

Why does the refrigerator produce too much frost and not cool enough?

Accepted Answer

This problem usually arises from a thermostat set too cold or an overload of food blocking the circulation of cold air.

What to do

Adjust the thermostat: On the BD 262 A N I EU, the thermostat has 5 positions. Position 1 = less cold, Position 5 = the coldest. Set it to a middle position (2 or 3) instead of keeping it at maximum. Wait about 10 hours after the change for the temperature to stabilize.

Defrost the freezer compartment: When the thickness of frost exceeds 2-3 mm (or 5 mm at most), proceed with a manual defrost. Only use the provided plastic scraper. Open the door with containers of hot water inside and wait about 2 hours before reloading it.

Ensure air circulation: Cold air must circulate freely. Do not overload the refrigerator with too much food. Make sure the back grilles are not blocked and that the compressor has 10 cm of free space above and 5 cm on the sides.

Check the door seals: If the doors do not close properly, cold air escapes. Inspect the seals and avoid opening the doors too often.

If the problem persists after these adjustments, it may indicate a malfunction of the compressor requiring technical intervention.
