Troubleshooting
Appliance is not cooling
Ensure the power cord is plugged in securely. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Verify that the temperature settings are correct and that the doors are closing properly, creating a good seal. Make sure ventilation slots are not blocked.
Unusual noise during operation
Slight humming or clicking sounds are normal, especially from the Inverter Compressor. Ensure the appliance is level and not touching any walls or cabinets. Check if items inside are rattling against each other or the walls.
Frost is building up
Although this is a 'Total No Frost' model, excessive frost can occur if the doors are left open frequently or if seals are damaged. Check door seals for obstructions or damage. Ensure the appliance is not placed near a heat source.
Water pooling inside or outside the appliance
Check the drain hole at the back of the fridge interior is not blocked. Ensure the appliance is level, as this can affect water drainage. If water is pooling outside, check the drip tray and ensure it is correctly positioned.
Interior light is not working
The LED lamp may need replacement. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on how to safely replace the LED lamp.
