During the operation of the compressor, ice forms on the cooling surface. Due to the temperature difference, moisture collects on the cold back wall, which in some cases turns into a layer of frost. Due to the fact that the compressor turns off at certain intervals, the ice melts, and water flows down the wall, falling into a special tank, this, according to buyers, is very convenient.
