Troubleshooting

Refrigerator is not cooling

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and the doors are closing properly. Verify that the condenser coils are not blocked and have adequate ventilation.

Water dispenser not working

Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted and filled. Check that the dispenser lock is not engaged. Verify the water tank has been cleaned and refilled if it's been sitting empty.

Excessive noise

Ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching any walls or cabinets. Check that no items inside are vibrating against each other or the walls. Some operational noises, like humming from the compressor or clicking sounds, are normal.

Frost build-up in freezer or fridge

This unit features Total No Frost. If significant frost occurs, ensure doors are closing fully and not left ajar. Check for blockages in the air vents inside the compartments. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is functioning correctly. Verify that the refrigerator is within range of the router. Try restarting both the router and the refrigerator by unplugging them for a minute. Re-initiate the Wi-Fi setup process through the ConnectLife app.
