Troubleshooting
Appliance not cooling or turning on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the temperature control knob is set to an appropriate cooling level. Verify the circuit breaker or fuse box if there's no power in the outlet.
Excessive noise or vibration.
Check if the appliance is level on the floor; adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for proper ventilation. Make sure no objects are touching the back or sides of the fridge freezer.
Food freezing in the fridge compartment.
The temperature setting might be too low. Adjust the thermostat to a warmer setting. Ensure food items are not blocking the air vents inside the fridge, which can disrupt airflow and cause uneven cooling.
