Troubleshooting
Fridge not cooling.
Check the power supply. Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. Make sure the door seals properly. Allow the fridge 24 hours to reach the set temperature after plugging it in.
Excessive frost in the freezer.
Ensure the freezer door seals properly. Manually defrost the freezer when the frost builds up. Do not put warm food in the freezer.
The fridge is making excessive noise.
Ensure the fridge is level. The noise could be due to the compressor running; this is usually normal. If the noise is excessive, check if any items are vibrating against each other.
Water leaking inside the fridge.
Check the drain hole at the back of the fridge for blockages. Clean the drain hole with a pipe cleaner or similar tool. Ensure the door seals are clean and intact.
