To set the temperature, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator. Use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the temperature. The ideal setting for the fridge is between 3°C and 5°C, and for the freezer, it should be around -18°C.
First, ensure that the refrigerator is plugged in and the power is on. Check if the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. Clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. If the problem persists, consider contacting a professional technician.
To defrost the freezer, remove all food and unplug the refrigerator. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Use towels to soak up any water. Once defrosted, clean the compartment and restart the refrigerator.
Ice build-up can occur if the door is not properly sealed or if it is frequently opened. Check the door gasket for any damage and ensure it seals correctly. Also, avoid placing hot food inside the fridge, as it can cause condensation and ice formation.
It's recommended to clean the condenser coils every six months. This helps maintain efficient cooling performance and prolongs the life of your refrigerator.
Organize your refrigerator by storing raw meat on the bottom shelf to prevent contamination, dairy products on the upper shelves, and fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawers. This ensures even cooling and prevents spoilage.
Check if the refrigerator is level and ensure it's not touching the wall or cabinets. Noise can also come from the compressor or fans. If the noise is excessive, it might require professional servicing.
First, check and replace the bulb if necessary. If the light still doesn’t work, inspect the light switch for any damage. If neither solution works, consider checking the wiring or contacting a technician.
To eliminate odors, clean the interior with a mixture of baking soda and water. Place an open box of baking soda or activated charcoal inside to absorb any remaining smells. Regularly check for expired or spoiled food.
While it is possible to install the refrigerator in a garage, ensure that the temperature range in the garage is suitable for the appliance. Extreme temperatures may affect its performance. It’s advisable to consult the user manual or manufacturer for specific recommendations.
