To adjust the temperature settings, locate the thermostat dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial clockwise to lower the temperature and counter-clockwise to raise it. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize after adjustment.
Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. Check if the door seals are clean and sealing properly. Also, make sure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and that the coils are not clogged with dust.
Manual defrosting is recommended when the frost layer reaches about 1/4 inch thick. To defrost, remove all items, turn off the refrigerator, and leave the door open to let the ice melt. Clean and dry the interior before restarting.
Remove all food items and shelves. Use a mixture of baking soda and warm water to wipe down the interior surfaces. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the surfaces.
Unplug the refrigerator. Locate the light cover and remove it by unscrewing or unclipping it. Replace the bulb with a new one of the same type and wattage, then reattach the cover and plug the refrigerator back in.
Check if the defrost drain is clogged. This can cause water to collect at the bottom. Unclog the drain using a pipe cleaner or a solution of warm water and vinegar. Ensure the refrigerator is level to allow proper drainage.
Inspect the door gasket for dirt or damage and clean it with warm soapy water. If the gasket is damaged, consider replacing it. Adjust the refrigerator's feet to ensure it is level, which can help the door close more securely.
Ensure the refrigerator is level and on a stable surface. Check if any items inside are vibrating against each other. Also, make sure the back of the refrigerator is not touching the wall, as this can amplify noise.
Do not overcrowd shelves to allow air circulation. Store raw meat in the bottom section to prevent cross-contamination. Use airtight containers to keep food fresh and prevent odors. Keep frequently used items at the front for easy access.
Keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure the door seals are tight and free from leaks. Set the thermostat to the recommended temperature settings. Regularly clean the coils to improve efficiency.
