To adjust the temperature, locate the temperature control dial inside the fridge compartment. Turn it clockwise to lower the temperature and counterclockwise to raise it. Allow 24 hours for the changes to take effect.
First, ensure that the fridge is plugged in and the power supply is on. Check the temperature setting and adjust if necessary. Make sure the door seals are clean and undamaged. If the problem persists, consider defrosting the fridge or contacting a service technician.
To defrost the fridge, remove all food items and unplug the unit. Leave the door open and place towels around the base to catch melting ice. Once defrosting is complete, clean the interior and plug the fridge back in.
Regularly clean the interior and exterior surfaces with mild detergent. Check and clean door seals to ensure they are free from debris. Vacuum the condenser coils at the back of the fridge every six months to improve efficiency.
Unusual noises can be caused by the fridge not being level, items vibrating on the shelves, or the compressor working harder than usual. Adjust the leveling feet, rearrange items, and ensure the fridge is not overloaded.
Water pooling can be due to a blocked defrost drain. Locate the drain hole inside the fridge and clear any blockages using a pipe cleaner or similar tool. Ensure proper drainage by pouring a small amount of water through it.
First, unplug the fridge. Locate the light cover inside the fridge compartment, remove it, and unscrew the old bulb. Replace it with a new bulb of the same type and wattage, then reattach the cover and plug the fridge back in.
Frost buildup can occur due to frequent door openings, faulty door seals, or an incorrect temperature setting. Ensure the door is closed properly, check the seals for damage, and adjust the temperature if necessary.
To maximize energy efficiency, keep the fridge well-organized and avoid overloading it. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, and set the temperature to the manufacturer's recommended setting. Regularly clean the condenser coils.
Check if any food items or shelves are obstructing the door. Inspect the door seals for damage or dirt and clean them if necessary. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the fridge is level, which can help the door close properly.
