Repair guidance / Candy / BR2
Ice builds up around an edge
Describe where the ice begins and whether the door closes squarely. A local ice pattern can differ from ice throughout the compartment. Do not chip ice away with a knife, use a heat gun or expose hidden pipework.
A different pattern: the machine runs much more than before
Record whether temperatures are also changing, whether a door is failing to close and whether the change followed a move. Longer operation is evidence, not a diagnosis. Model acceptance comes first; American-style side-by-side units and compressor changes are excluded.
A fitted appliance behind a furniture door
Describe the visible furniture panel, plinth and surrounding cupboards. A built-in appliance needs its access and connection arrangement checked before removal; do not detach cabinetry or pull the appliance forward to make the enquiry.
Identify this Candy model
Provide the complete model and serial number from a safely accessible rating label. Do not remove panels or move heavy equipment to find it.
Preparing the Keston visit
Keep the Keston address and complete postcode together with the equipment details. Mention whether this enquiry concerns a fitted appliance, an existing pump or a unit below the kitchen sink so the intended work is clear before booking.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “ice builds up around an edge”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “ice builds up around an edge”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the machine runs much more than before”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Keston postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the machine runs much more than before” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fitted appliance behind a furniture door — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
