Troubleshooting
Unit is not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and the door is fully closed. Verify that ventilation space is adequate and the condenser is not blocked by dust.
Excessive noise or vibration
Ensure the unit is level. Check if bottles are correctly placed on the shelves and not touching the interior walls. The anti-vibration system is designed to minimize noise, but some operational sounds are normal.
Interior light not working
Check if the light switch is activated. The LED lamp may need replacement; consult the user manual for instructions.
Condensation inside the unit
This can occur if the door is opened frequently or left ajar. Ensure the door seals are intact and the unit is not placed in a very humid environment. The no-frost system should manage normal condensation.
Temperature alarm is active
This indicates the internal temperature has deviated significantly from the set point. Check for frequent door openings, ambient temperature fluctuations, or issues with the cooling system. Allow the unit to stabilize after making adjustments.
