Troubleshooting
Appliance not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the outlet is working. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and that the doors are closing properly, without obstructions. Verify that ventilation openings are not blocked.
Excessive noise
Ensure the appliance is level. Check that nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit. Some operational noises like humming or clicking are normal.
Water leaking inside or outside
Check the drain hole inside the fridge for blockages. Ensure the appliance is level. If water is leaking from the back, check the drain pan and water connections (if applicable).
Frost build-up in the freezer
As the freezer does not have automatic defrost, manual defrosting is required. Unplug the appliance and allow ice to melt, then dry thoroughly before restarting. Ensure the freezer door is sealing correctly.
Door alarm sounds continuously
Ensure the refrigerator door is fully closed and not being held open by food items or packaging. Check for any obstructions preventing a complete seal.
