Keeping the defrost drain clear before it floods
The sheet of ice under the bottom drawer is the warning. The water on the kitchen floor is what comes next.
Mockup note. The guide layout and the five clusters from the owner's sheet are in place; the prose is not written yet. Fleet rule R1 applies here more than anywhere: these guides must be written appliance-first, and none of them may be carried over from the *repairguide.com corpus.
The condenser, the grille, and the one job that prevents the most calls
On a built-in the grille above the doors is the whole air supply, and it is the most common avoidable fault we see.
