- Machine sited next to heat-producing equipment
- High room ambient temperature
Safe basic checks
- 01Clear anything stacked against the machine
- 02Confirm the fan is running
- 03Check the room temperature and ventilation
When professional repair is recommended
If the machine remains hot with a clean condenser and working fan, stop using it and call a technician.
Do not attempt electrical, refrigerant or internal mechanical work. Call 069 268 0988.
Maintenance prevention
Maintain the manufacturer's clearance, clean condensers on schedule and improve room ventilation where needed.
