To change the water filter, locate the filter compartment inside the refrigerator. Turn the old filter counterclockwise to remove it. Insert the new filter and turn it clockwise until it is secure. Run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to clear any air and impurities.
Check if the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked. Clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the fridge. If the problem persists, the thermostat or compressor might need professional inspection.
Unusual noises can be due to the refrigerator not being level. Adjust the leveling legs to ensure stability. Also, check if the fans and condenser coils are clean and free of debris, and ensure the refrigerator is not touching the wall or cabinets.
To defrost manually, unplug the refrigerator and remove all food items. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. For quicker defrosting, use pans of hot water placed inside. Once defrosted, clean and dry the freezer before plugging it back in.
Use a solution of mild detergent and warm water to wipe down all surfaces. For stubborn stains, use a mixture of baking soda and water. Remove shelves and drawers to clean them separately, and ensure everything is completely dry before returning items to the fridge.
Check if the water line connections are tight. Ensure the defrost drain is not clogged by flushing it with warm water. Also, inspect the door gaskets for any damage that might cause condensation inside the refrigerator.
It is recommended to replace the air filter approximately every six months to ensure optimal performance and to keep odors under control.
Yes, the door shelves can be adjusted. Simply lift and remove the shelf you want to move, then reposition it at the desired height by aligning it with the notches on the door.
Ensure the ice maker is turned on and the water supply is connected. Check for any ice blockages in the ice tray. If the issue persists, inspect the water inlet valve and the ice maker assembly for faults.
Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Ensure the seals are intact and clean. Set the temperature to the recommended settings (around 37°F for the fridge and 0°F for the freezer). Regularly clean the condenser coils and ensure proper airflow around the appliance.
