Question 4

Why is there water in the freezer of the CANDY CFBD 2650 A SN?

Accepted Answer

The presence of water in the freezer of the CANDY CFBD 2650 A SN is generally normal. According to the manual, a thin layer of frost or droplets of water may naturally form at the bottom of the freezer compartment during operation.

Here are the main points to check:

Clean the water outlet - Ensure that the water outlet of the appliance remains clean and unobstructed. A blockage in the drainage can prevent water from draining properly.
Position food correctly - Check that food does not touch the bottom of the compartment or the side walls, as this can hinder air circulation and water drainage.
Manual defrosting of the freezer - The freezer of the CANDY CFBD 2650 A SN needs to be defrosted manually. When the layer of frost exceeds 3mm in thickness, defrosting is necessary. During defrosting, water will naturally accumulate.
In high ambient temperatures - If you live in a very hot environment, the appliance may run continuously and accumulate more frost. In this case, set the refrigerator thermostat to positions 1-2 (warmer).

If water continues to accumulate abnormally after checking the drainage and food positioning, contact CANDY customer service.
