To set the temperature, use the control panel located inside the refrigerator. Adjust the temperature settings for both the fridge and freezer compartments according to your needs. The ideal setting for the fridge is around 37°F (3°C) and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the power is on. Ensure that the temperature settings are correct. Clean the condenser coils and ensure that the door seals are intact and not allowing air to escape. If the issue persists, contact customer service for further assistance.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every six months. This helps maintain efficient cooling performance and extends the lifespan of the refrigerator. Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to remove dust and debris.
To defrost the freezer, first remove all items and unplug the refrigerator. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels or a shallow pan to collect water. Once defrosted, clean and dry the compartment before plugging the refrigerator back in.
Ensure that the freezer door is always closed tightly and that the door seal is intact. Avoid opening the door frequently and for long periods. Regularly check and adjust the temperature settings to avoid excessive cold.
Check for items inside the refrigerator that might be vibrating or causing noise. Ensure that the refrigerator is level and not touching the wall or cabinets. If the noise persists, it could be indicative of a mechanical issue, and you should contact a technician.
Unplug the refrigerator before replacing the bulb. Locate the light cover in the refrigerator compartment, unscrew it, and remove the old bulb. Replace it with a new bulb of the same type and wattage. Screw the cover back in place and plug the refrigerator back in.
Foul odors can result from spoiled food or spills. Remove all items and clean the interior with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Ensure all food is sealed properly and regularly check for expired items. For persistent odors, place an open box of baking soda in the fridge.
Keep the refrigerator in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources. Ensure the door seals are airtight and clean the condenser coils regularly. Avoid overloading the refrigerator to allow for proper air circulation.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the condenser coils every six months, checking door seals monthly, and defrosting the freezer as needed. Also, replace the water filter every six months if your model is equipped with one.
