Troubleshooting

Check the power supply and ensure the fridge is plugged in correctly. Check the temperature settings and adjust if necessary. Make sure the door seals properly and is not letting warm air in.

Excessive frost in the freezer.

Ensure the freezer door seals properly. Reduce the frequency of door openings. Check that food items are not blocking the vents.

The refrigerator is making unusual noises.

Some noises are normal (e.g., the compressor). If the noise is excessive, ensure the fridge is level, and nothing is touching the back panel. Contact customer service if the noise persists.
