Troubleshooting
Fridge or freezer not cooling.
Check the power supply, ensure the temperature settings are correct, and that the door seals are tight. Make sure the vents are not blocked.
Ice buildup in the freezer.
Ensure the door is sealing properly. Check the defrost system (if the appliance is not Dual No Frost, you may need to defrost it manually).
Excessive noise.
Ensure the fridge is level. Check if items inside are vibrating against each other. Some noise is normal due to the compressor.
Water leakage.
Check the water dispenser line for leaks. Check the drain hole in the fridge and freezer for blockages and clear if necessary.
