What is a 'chill box' and how is it different from a freezer?
A chill box is a small compartment designed to keep items colder than the main refrigerator section. It's ideal for short-term storage of items needing extra chill, but it is not a full-fledged freezer and cannot be used for long-term frozen food storage.
Troubleshooting
Fridge is not cooling or not cooling enough.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the power outlet is active. Check the temperature control knob and ensure it's set to an appropriate cooling level. Verify that the door is closing completely and not obstructed, and avoid overloading the fridge, which can block airflow.
Unusual noises coming from the fridge.
Check if the fridge is level; uneven placement can cause vibrations. Ensure no items inside are touching the back wall or vibrating against each other. The 39dBA rating means it's usually very quiet, so investigate any persistent loud noises.
Water pooling inside the fridge.
This often indicates a blocked drain hole at the back of the fridge. Clear any debris from the drain hole using a small, soft tool. Also, ensure the door seal is intact and the door isn't left open for extended periods, which can lead to excessive condensation.
Door is not closing properly.
Inspect the door gasket (seal) for any tears, dirt, or debris that might prevent a tight seal. Remove any items inside the fridge that might be blocking the door from closing fully. Ensure the appliance is level, as an unlevel fridge can misalign the door.
