Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer not cooling

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Verify that the temperature settings are correct and not set too high. Make sure the doors are closing properly and not being blocked open.

Excessive noise

Ensure the appliance is level on the floor using the adjustable feet. Check that nothing is vibrating against the back or sides of the unit. Some operational noises (like humming or gurgling) are normal.

Water leakage inside or outside

Check if the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment is blocked; clear it with a soft brush or pipe cleaner. Ensure the appliance is level. Verify that the auto-defrost system is functioning correctly.

Ice build-up in the freezer

The auto-defrost system should prevent this. If significant ice is forming, ensure the freezer door is sealing correctly and not left open. Check if the temperature setting is too low or if a manual defrost cycle is needed (refer to manual).
