Troubleshooting

Refrigerator not cooling

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is working. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and not obstructed. Check for excessive ice build-up in the freezer box, which can affect overall cooling.

Excessive noise

Ensure the refrigerator is on a level surface. Check that nothing is vibrating against the back or sides of the unit. Some operational sounds are normal.

Water pooling inside the fridge

The automatic defrost system should channel water away. Ensure the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment is not blocked. Clean the drain hole if necessary.

Door not sealing properly

Check for obstructions preventing the door from closing. Ensure the refrigerator is level. Clean the door seals with a damp cloth to remove any debris. If the door seal is damaged, contact customer support.
