To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator. Use the up and down arrows to set your desired temperature. The recommended temperature is 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer.
If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, first check if the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure that the vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food items. Clean the condenser coils and check if the door seals are intact.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every six months to ensure optimal performance. Use a vacuum cleaner or a coil brush to remove dust and debris from the coils.
After a power outage, your refrigerator should automatically reset. If it does not, unplug the unit for 5 minutes and then plug it back in. This should reset the control panel and restore normal operation.
To replace 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 locks into place. Run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to clear any air and impurities.
A humming noise is normal and indicates that the compressor is running. However, if the noise becomes loud or unusual, check if the refrigerator is level and ensure that the back of the unit is not touching the wall.
First, ensure the ice maker is turned on and the arm is in the down position. Check the water supply line for any kinks or blockages. If the problem persists, inspect the water inlet valve and consider replacing it if necessary.
To prevent frost buildup, avoid leaving the freezer door open for extended periods. Ensure the door seals are clean and tightly closed. Regularly defrost the freezer if it is not a frost-free model.
Regular maintenance tasks include cleaning the condenser coils, checking and cleaning the door seals, replacing the water filter every six months, and ensuring the refrigerator is level.
To change the light bulb, first unplug the refrigerator. Locate the light cover inside the refrigerator and remove it. Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new one of the same wattage. Replace the cover and plug the refrigerator back in.
