Check that the power plug is properly connected.•
Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?•
Try setting it to a lower temperature.
Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?•
Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from •
circulating?
The food in the
fridge is frozen.
Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?•

Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.•
Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from •
circulating?
Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?•
A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs •
because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation to the
temperature of the refrigerator interior.
The front corners
of the appliance
are hot and
condensation is
occurring.
Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the •
refrigerator to prevent condensation.
Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open •
for a long time.
You can hear water
bubbling in the
refrigerator.
This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating •
through the refrigerator.
There is a bad
smell in the
refrigerator.
Has a food item spoiled?•
Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped so that it is airtight.•
Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.•
Frost forms on the
walls of the freezer.
Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.•
Allow suffi cient space between the foods stored for effi cient air circulation.•
Is the freezer door closed properly?•
