The good news is that most of the fridge freezer problems are not as <strong>serious<\/strong> as they may look.

If you have a modern model with an inverter motor, you probably won\u2019t have that fault at all thanks to the <strong>Total No Frost<\/strong> system. But if you\u2019re seeing thick ice on drawers, walls, or even your food, it\u2019s time to take action. Why it happens:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The freezer door isn\u2019t <strong>sealing<\/strong> properly.<\/li>\n<li>Warm air <strong>keeps<\/strong> getting in.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s too much <strong>moisture<\/strong> inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fix it like this:<\/p>\n<p>Check the rubber <strong>seal<\/strong> around the door (gasket). If it\u2019s dirty, clean it. If it\u2019s cracked, it may need replacing. Make sure the door closes <strong>fully<\/strong> every time. And if there\u2019s already a lot of ice? Turn off the unit, leave the door open, and let it defrost completely.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going to buy a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/inspiration\/buying-your-first-fridge-a-quick-guide-for-first-time-buyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fridge freezer<\/a>, you are going to be happy to find out that the top <strong>technology<\/strong> models have systems like the <strong>AirFlow<\/strong> control to ensure uniform cooling, to preserve freshness for longer and prevent any frost issues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-144699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/AirFlowControl.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of a Teka refrigerator where the AirFlow is represented\" width=\"700\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/AirFlowControl.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/AirFlowControl-480x299.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\u201cWhere\u2019s this water coming from?\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Finding water under or inside your fridge can be a little scary, but it\u2019s usually <strong>easy<\/strong> to fix. Possible causes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>blocked<\/strong> defrost drain.<\/li>\n<li>A cracked or <strong>misaligned<\/strong> water tank.<\/li>\n<li>Too much <strong>condensation<\/strong> in the room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What you can do:<\/p>\n<p>Look for a small <strong>drain hole<\/strong> inside the fridge (usually at the back, sometimes right above the last drawer of the fridge). If it\u2019s clogged, clean it with <strong>warm water<\/strong> and a pipe cleaner or cotton swab. Also, check for any disconnected hoses behind the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cMy Fridge Sounds Like It\u2019s Alive!\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Most fridges make some noise.

Look behind it to make sure nothing\u2019s touching or shaking against it. And clean the back coils if they are dusty. If the noise is new and doesn\u2019t stop, time to call a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/support\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professional.<\/a> Just for your info: a \u201cnormal\u201d fridge produces about 40-45 dBs, more or less what you can expect from a normal conversation.
