Viking FDRB5302 Energy Guide

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.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the temperature settings are correct. Clean the condenser coils and check the door seals for any gaps. If the problem persists, consider contacting a service technician.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils at least twice a year. This helps maintain efficient operation and prolongs the life of the refrigerator.
Water leakage inside the refrigerator can be due to a blocked defrost drain. Clear any blockage by flushing the drain with warm water. Ensure the refrigerator is level to prevent water pooling.
Store raw meats on the lower shelves to prevent drips onto other foods. Keep dairy products and eggs in the coldest part of the fridge, usually near the back. Use the door shelves for condiments and drinks.
Ensure the refrigerator is level on the floor. Check that it is not touching any walls or cabinets. Clean the condenser coils and check for any loose parts that might be causing vibrations.
Check if the ice maker is turned on and the water supply is connected. Clear any ice jams in the maker. If these steps do not resolve the issue, inspect the water filter and replace it if necessary.
Keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and ensure it is well-ventilated. Set the temperature to the recommended settings. Regularly clean the condenser coils and ensure the door seals are intact.
To manually defrost, remove all food, unplug the refrigerator, and leave the freezer door open. Use towels to absorb water as the ice melts. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before plugging it back in.
To reset the control panel, unplug the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This should reset the electronics. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
