Troubleshooting
Fridge not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and not set too high. Verify that the door is closing properly and the seals are intact. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
Freezer is building up frost
Confirm that the 'Frost Free' function is enabled and working. Check if the door is being left open frequently or for extended periods. Ensure door seals are clean and creating a tight fit.
Unusual noises
Some operational noises like humming or clicking are normal. However, loud or persistent rattling could indicate the unit is not level or something is touching the back. Adjust the leveling feet or ensure the unit is clear of surrounding objects.
Water dispenser not working
Check if the water reservoir (if applicable) is filled correctly. Ensure the dispenser lever or button is being activated properly. For plumbed models, check the water supply connection.
