Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer is not cooling/freezing.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and the alarm is not indicating an open door. Allow 24 hours for the unit to reach the set temperature after initial setup or significant changes.

Unusual noises.

Buzzing or humming is normal during operation. Rattling may indicate the unit is not level or touching a wall/cabinet; adjust the feet or reposition. Popping or cracking sounds can occur due to expansion and contraction.

Water leaking inside or outside the unit.

Ensure the drain hole inside the fridge compartment is not blocked. If water is outside, check that the unit is level and not tilted forward.

Door not sealing properly.

Check for obstructions around the door seal. Ensure the unit is level. If the doors are reversible, ensure they have been reinstalled correctly. The door alarm will sound if the seal is compromised.
