To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator compartment. Use the up or down arrow buttons to set your desired temperature. The recommended setting is 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the power is on. Ensure the vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food items. If the issue persists, clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the unit.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 months to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.
To change the water filter, locate it inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the 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.
Water leaks can be caused by a blocked defrost drain. Check the drain located at the bottom of the fridge and clear any obstructions. Ensure the drain tube is properly connected and not damaged.
To prevent ice buildup, ensure the freezer door seals are intact and not damaged. Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods and do not overfill the freezer, as this restricts airflow.
Unusual noises can be caused by various factors such as a vibrating condenser coil or a faulty fan. Ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching any walls or cabinets. If the noise persists, contact a certified technician.
To reset the control panel, unplug the refrigerator from the power source for a few minutes, then plug it back in. This should reset any temporary issues with the control panel.
Check if the bulb needs replacement or if it is properly screwed in. If the bulb is fine, inspect the light switch for damage or malfunction. Replace any faulty components as needed.
To manually defrost the refrigerator, remove all food items and unplug the unit. Leave the doors open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Once defrosted, clean the interior and plug the refrigerator back in.
