Why is the temperature too high in my IKEA PAKALLA Refrigerator?
- J
  John WadeAug 12, 2025
  If the temperature in your IKEA Refrigerator is too low or too high, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the temperature is set correctly by adjusting it to a higher or lower setting. Also, make sure the door is closed properly. If you've recently placed warm food inside, allow it to cool before storing. Avoid inserting too many food products at once and defrost the appliance if the frost is thicker than 4-5 mm. Limit how often you open the door and check for proper cold air circulation inside the refrigerator.

  There are several reasons why the compressor in your IKEA Refrigerator might be running constantly. Check the temperature setting and adjust if necessary. If you've recently added a large amount of food, give the refrigerator a few hours to adjust. Ensure that the room temperature is within the recommended range by checking the climate class chart on the rating plate. Always let food cool to room temperature before refrigerating, and ensure the door is closing correctly.

  If water is leaking onto the floor from your IKEA Refrigerator, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the door is closing correctly. Next, make sure the appliance is tilted slightly backward. Check if the defrost water drain is clogged and clean the drain hole with a piece of wire. If the drip pan is cracked, it needs to be replaced.

  Excessive condensation on the rear wall of your IKEA Refrigerator can occur if the door is opened too frequently or isn't closed completely. Ensure that you only open the door when necessary and that it seals properly. Also, make sure all stored food is properly wrapped to minimize moisture release.

  If water is accumulating inside your IKEA Refrigerator, the drain hole at the back of the appliance may be clogged. Try cleaning it with a piece of wire. Also, ensure that food products are not blocking the flow of water into the water collector by making sure they do not touch the rear plate.
