To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the fridge compartment. Use the temperature control buttons to set your desired temperature for both the fridge and freezer sections.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the temperature settings are correctly adjusted. Clean the condenser coils and make sure the door seals are intact and sealing properly.
The De Dietrich DRS918JE is typically a frost-free model, so manual defrosting is not needed. However, if you notice frost buildup, ensure the door seals are working correctly and not damaged.
Regularly clean the condenser coils, check and clean door seals, and replace the water filter every six months if applicable. Also, keep the interior clean and free of expired or spoiled food.
Unusual noises may be due to the fridge not being level, items inside vibrating, or the compressor. Ensure the fridge is level, and items inside are stable. If the noise persists, consult a professional technician.
Ensure the door seals are tight and not leaking, avoid placing hot food directly in the fridge, and keep the coils clean. Set the temperature to the manufacturer's recommended settings.
Check if the light bulb needs replacement. If a new bulb doesn't work, there might be an issue with the light switch or electrical connection that may require a technician's assistance.
Unplug the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This helps reset the system. Ensure the temperature settings are correct after restarting.
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to wipe down all surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and ensure all surfaces are dry before closing the doors.
Locate the water filter compartment, usually inside the refrigerator. Twist the old filter counterclockwise to remove it. Insert the new filter and twist it clockwise until it locks in place. Run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to clear air and impurities.
