Troubleshooting

Fridge doesn't turn on.

Check the power connection and ensure it is securely plugged in. Verify the power source is working (car socket or mains outlet) and that the fuse is not blown.

Poor cooling performance.

Ensure the lid is sealed properly. Avoid opening the fridge frequently. Check the ambient temperature—the fridge's performance is affected by the surrounding temperature. Make sure the cooling vents are not blocked.

Fridge is making excessive noise.

Ensure the fridge is placed on a level surface. Check if any items inside are vibrating against the walls. If the noise persists, it may indicate a problem with the fan; contact customer support.
