Troubleshooting
Appliance not cooling or freezing
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and that the doors are closing properly, without obstructions. Verify that the minimum operating temperature of 10°C ambient is met.
Unusual noises
Some operational noises are normal, such as the compressor running or refrigerant flowing. If noises are excessively loud or new, check if the appliance is level and not touching walls or cabinets. Ensure all internal shelves and drawers are correctly positioned.
Water pooling inside the fridge
Ensure the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment is not blocked. Gently clear any obstruction with a soft tool. This is more common in models without full NoFrost in the fridge, but check anyway.
Door not closing properly
Check for any food items or containers inside that might be preventing the door from closing fully. Ensure the appliance is level. Clean the door seals and the corresponding surfaces on the appliance body.
Excessive frost build-up (in freezer)
While this model features NoFrost, if significant frost appears, it might indicate the door is not sealing correctly or has been left open for extended periods. Check for obstructions and ensure the door seal is clean and intact.
