Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and the seals are intact. Make sure ventilation around the unit is not blocked.
Excessive frost build-up
This indicates the need for manual defrosting. Follow the defrosting instructions in the 'Care' section. Ensure the door is not left open frequently and that warm, moist air is not trapped inside.
Unusual noise
Some operational noise is normal. However, if the noise is loud or persistent, check that the freezer is level on the floor and that nothing is touching the back of the unit.
Freezer smells unpleasant
Clean the interior thoroughly with a mild detergent and water. Ensure all food items are properly wrapped and sealed. Leaving the door open for a while with the unit unplugged and clean can also help dissipate odors.
