To adjust the temperature settings, locate the temperature control panel inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures and to a lower number for warmer settings. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
First, check that the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure that the vents inside the fridge are not blocked by food items. Clean the condenser coils if they are dirty, and verify that the door seals are not damaged.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils at least twice a year to ensure optimal performance. If you have pets, consider cleaning them more frequently.
To defrost the refrigerator, first remove all food items and unplug the unit. Leave the doors open to allow the ice to melt. Place towels inside to absorb water, and once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before plugging it back in.
To replace the light bulb, unplug the refrigerator and locate the bulb panel inside. Remove the panel cover, unscrew the old bulb, and replace it with a new one of the same wattage. Reattach the cover and plug the refrigerator back in.
Water pooling may be due to a blocked defrost drain. Clear any debris from the drain using a pipe cleaner or warm water. Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or damaged.
Unusual noises may be caused by the compressor or fans. Check that the refrigerator is level and that nothing inside is vibrating. If noises persist, contact a professional technician for further inspection.
Test the door seals by closing the door on a piece of paper. If you can pull the paper out easily, the seals may need cleaning or replacement. Clean the seals with warm, soapy water to remove any debris.
Keep frequently used items at the front and ensure air can circulate around food items. Store raw meat on the bottom shelf to prevent drips. Use clear containers to keep items organized and easily visible.
To improve energy efficiency, ensure the door seals are intact, keep the refrigerator away from heat sources, and maintain a full but not overcrowded interior. Regularly clean the condenser coils and set the temperature to the recommended settings.
