Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer is not cooling or freezing

Check if the power plug is securely connected. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the doors are closing properly and not blocked. Check for any obstructions around the ventilation slots.

Excessive noise

Ensure the appliance is level using the adjustable feet. Check that nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit. The noise might be normal operation sounds like the compressor or refrigerant flow.

Water pooling inside the fridge

Ensure the drain hole at the back of the fridge interior is not blocked. Check that the appliance is level, as tilting can affect water drainage.

Frost build-up in the freezer
