Kenmore 50043 106.5175 Energy Guide

To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator compartment. Use the up or down arrows to set your desired temperature. The recommended settings are 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer.
If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, first check if the vents are blocked. Ensure that the temperature settings are correct. If the problem persists, clean the condenser coils and check the door seals for any gaps or damage.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months to ensure efficient operation. Use a vacuum cleaner or a coil brush to remove dust and debris.
To change the water filter, locate the filter compartment, usually at the bottom front of 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 any air and impurities.
Water pooling can occur due to a blocked defrost drain. To fix this, unplug the refrigerator and locate the defrost drain at the back. Use a warm water and baking soda solution to clear any blockages.
To reset the ice maker, locate the reset button on the ice maker unit. Press and hold the button for about 10 seconds until you hear a chime or the ice maker begins to cycle.
If the door won't close properly, inspect the door seals for dirt or damage. Clean them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Ensure that shelves and items inside the refrigerator are not obstructing the door.
Loud noises can be caused by malfunctioning fans or compressors. Check if the noise is coming from the back or inside the refrigerator. Ensure that the unit is level and not touching any walls or cabinets. If the noise persists, consider contacting a professional technician.
Ensure your refrigerator is energy efficient by keeping the seals clean and intact, setting appropriate temperature levels, and cleaning the coils regularly. Avoid placing hot food inside and ensure proper spacing for airflow around the unit.
Refer to the user manual for specific error codes. Commonly, error codes indicate issues with temperature sensors, defrost systems, or fan motors. Address the specific issue as outlined in the manual, or contact customer support for assistance.
