how to check cooling-panel condensation in an Electrolux EQE fridge

when to get help
- do not treat water near electrical fittings, a floor leak or loss of cooling as normal panel condensation.
steps
- identify where the water is
small droplets on the cooled aluminium panel in humid weather can be normal on these models. water pooling elsewhere or running onto the floor needs a separate check.
- check the doors and contents
move packaging that holds a door ajar and keep openings brief. check whether food is staying properly chilled; panel droplets alone are not a reason to replace a seal or control.
- report changes that do not fit
arrange service if water continues pooling, the compartment warms or a door cannot close. do not dismantle the cooling panel to investigate moisture behind it.
