What Check condenser
actually means.
Bertazzoni freezer columns can remind you every 6 months to clean the condenser behind the front toe kick cover. The reminder is off by default and is switched on in the maintenance settings; after cleaning, a reset starts the next 6-month count.

What to do when Check condenser shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.
Usually leads toNo repair
Turn the column off with the Unit button, wait about 30 minutes, and remove the grille under the door.
Shows up asFreezer Runs All the Time
A freezer running constantly never goes quiet: the compressor hums for hours, the base feels warm, and the power bill creeps up while the cabinet may or may not hold its temperature.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Check condenser on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the column off with the Unit button, wait about 30 minutes, and remove the grille under the door.
Vacuum the condenser fins with a soft brush, wearing gloves because the edges are sharp.
Restart the column, touch reset in the maintenance menu, and book a visit if the condenser is caked or the column still runs warm.
Cleared?
The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.
What not to do
Check Cond is a calendar reminder, not a measurement of a clogged condenser. It appears on schedule whether the coil is dusty or clean.
