Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer is not cooling

Check that the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and that the door is closing fully. Verify that the ventilation grilles are not blocked.

Water dispenser is not working

Confirm that the water tank is correctly inserted and filled. Check for any blockages in the dispenser nozzle. Ensure the control panel lock is not engaged if applicable.

Unusual noise

Ensure the appliance is level using the adjustable feet. Normal operating noises include humming from the compressor and bubbling sounds from the refrigerant. If the noise is loud or persistent, check if the unit is touching any walls or cabinets.

Door not closing properly

Check for any obstructions, such as food items or drawers, preventing the door from closing. Ensure the appliance is level. The door seals may need cleaning; wipe them with a damp cloth.

Frost build-up in the freezer

This unit features frost-free technology. If significant frost is observed, check that the freezer door is sealing correctly and not being left open. Ensure the 'Super Freeze' function is not constantly active, as this can sometimes contribute to frost if not managed.
