Troubleshooting
Fridge/Freezer not cooling effectively
Check that the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the doors are closing properly and seals are clean. Verify that the air vents inside are not blocked by food items. Allow sufficient time for the unit to reach the set temperature after loading food.
Excessive ice build-up in the freezer
Although equipped with Low Frost technology, some ice build-up is normal. If excessive, ensure the freezer door is not left open for extended periods and that warm, un-wrapped food is not placed inside. Manual defrosting may be necessary.
Water pooling inside or outside the fridge
Check the drain hole at the back of the fridge interior is clear of obstructions. Ensure the appliance is level. If water is outside, check the drip tray and connections.
Unusual noises
Normal operating sounds can include humming or clicking. If noises are loud or persistent, check that the appliance is level and not touching walls or cabinets. Ensure nothing is vibrating inside.
Interior light not working
The LED bulb may require replacement. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on bulb replacement.
