Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer is not cooling

Check if the power cord is properly plugged in and the socket is live. Ensure the thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature and not on 'off'. Verify that the doors are closing properly and not obstructed.

Excessive ice build-up (despite Frost Free)

Ensure the doors are sealing correctly and not left ajar. Check that food items are not blocking air vents inside the compartments. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Unusual noises

Some operational noise is normal. However, ensure the appliance is level. Rattling may occur if items inside are touching the walls or if the unit is not stable. Check for any loose parts.

Water pooling inside or outside the appliance

Check the defrost water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment is not blocked. Ensure the appliance is level, as tilting can affect water drainage.

Open Door Alarm is constantly active

Make sure the door is fully closed and the seal is clean and intact. Check if the alarm sensor is obstructed or dirty.
