To adjust the temperature, locate the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial clockwise to lower the temperature or counterclockwise to raise it. Wait 24 hours for the new setting to stabilize.
First, ensure the refrigerator is plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. Check the door seals for any damage, and ensure vents inside the fridge are not blocked by food items. If the problem persists, consider contacting a professional technician.
It's recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months. This helps maintain efficient operation. Use a vacuum cleaner or a brush to remove dust and debris.
To defrost, remove all food and unplug the refrigerator. Leave the doors open to let the ice melt. Once defrosted, clean any water and plug the refrigerator back in. Wait for it to reach the desired temperature before restocking.
Unplug the refrigerator and locate the light cover inside the compartment. Remove the cover and unscrew the old bulb. Replace it with a new bulb of the same wattage and reattach the cover.
Check the water supply line for any leaks or loose connections. Inspect the drain pan for cracks and ensure it's not overflowing. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
To reset the control panel, unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet and wait about 5 minutes. Plug it back in and check if the control panel functions have returned to normal.
Keep foods evenly spaced and avoid blocking air vents. Use containers with lids to prevent moisture loss and store raw meats on the bottom shelf to prevent cross-contamination.
Unusual noises could be due to the refrigerator not being level, items inside vibrating, or issues with the condenser fan or compressor. Check and adjust the leveling, rearrange items, and if the noise persists, contact a technician.
Ensure the refrigerator is not placed near heat sources and that the door seals are intact. Regularly clean the condenser coils and avoid overloading the fridge to maintain airflow.
