To adjust the temperature, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set your desired temperature. The recommended settings are 37°F for the fridge and 0°F for the freezer.
First, ensure the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check if the vents inside are blocked by food items. Clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom, and verify that the doors are sealing properly.
It's recommended to clean the condenser coils every six months to maintain optimal performance. Use a vacuum or a coil brush to remove dust and debris.
Unusual noises may be due to a loose component, a blocked fan, or ice buildup. Check for obstructions and ensure the refrigerator is level. If the noise persists, consult the user manual or contact a technician.
Locate the water filter compartment inside the fridge. 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 or impurities.
To defrost the freezer, remove all food items and unplug the refrigerator. Leave the freezer door open to allow ice to melt naturally. Place towels to absorb water. Once defrosted, clean and dry the compartment before plugging the fridge back in.
Check the water supply line for leaks and ensure it's properly connected. Inspect the door seals for damage and replace if necessary. Make sure the defrost drain isn't clogged. If the issue persists, consult a professional.
It is not recommended to store heavy items on top of the refrigerator as it can affect ventilation and cooling efficiency. Lightweight items can be placed, but ensure they do not block air vents.
Ensure the ice maker is turned on and the water supply line is connected. Check for ice jams and clear any obstructions. If it still doesn't work, reset the ice maker by turning it off for a few minutes and then back on.
To improve energy efficiency, keep the refrigerator full but not overcrowded. Regularly defrost the freezer and clean the condenser coils. Ensure the door seals are intact, and avoid frequent door openings.
