Troubleshooting
Fridge is not cooling sufficiently.
Check that the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door is closing properly and the door seal is clean and intact. Verify that ventilation openings are not blocked and that the appliance is not overloaded. Check if the condenser coils at the back are dusty and require cleaning.
Appliance is making unusual noises.
Ensure the appliance is level on the floor using the adjustable feet. Some noises, like humming from the compressor or water trickling during defrost, are normal. Rattling sounds might indicate that items inside or the appliance itself are touching the wall or other objects.
Water pooling inside the fridge.
This can occur if the automatic defrost drain hole is blocked. Locate the drain hole inside the fridge (usually at the back) and carefully clear any obstruction with a soft brush or cotton swab. Ensure the appliance is not tilted excessively.
Ice building up in the ice-box.
Excessive ice buildup in the ice-box indicates it needs manual defrosting. Follow the care instructions to defrost the ice-box completely. Ensure the door is closed properly after use to prevent moisture ingress.
Door alarm is continuously sounding.
This indicates the door has been left open for too long. Ensure the door is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the door from sealing. If the alarm persists with the door properly closed, there might be a fault with the sensor.
