Troubleshooting

Fridge or freezer is not cooling.

Check the power supply and ensure the appliance is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Check the temperature settings and adjust if needed. Make sure the doors are sealing properly. If the issue persists, contact customer service.

Water dispenser not working.

Check that the water line is connected correctly and that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the water filter is properly installed. If the water supply is fine, check for any ice build-up that might be blocking the dispenser.

Ice maker not producing ice.

Ensure the ice maker is turned on. Check that the water line is connected and the water supply is on. Check for any ice blockages. If the ice maker is still not working, consult the user manual for troubleshooting or contact customer support.

Excessive frost build-up in the freezer.

Check that the door is closing and sealing correctly. Avoid frequently opening the freezer door. If there's a lot of frost, the No Frost system might be malfunctioning; in this case, contact customer service.

Fridge is making unusual noises.

Ensure the fridge is level. Check if items inside are rattling. Some noises are normal; however, continuous loud noises may indicate a problem with the compressor. Contact customer service for assistance.
