Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and efficiency of your refrigerator. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Wipe down the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner (if applicable). Ensure the door gasket is clean and free of debris to maintain a proper seal.
Defrosting
This appliance features an automatic defrost system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Any accumulated frost will melt and evaporate automatically.
Checking the Cooling Fan
If you suspect an issue with the cooling fan, you can perform a basic check. First, unplug the unit. Locate the rear grille on the back of the refrigerator and remove the screws that fix it. The cooling fan is located inside the compressor compartment. Follow the power cord of the cooling fan to find the red terminal. Unplug the red terminal wire. If, after unplugging this wire and plugging the refrigerator back into power, the refrigerator has no obvious noise, it means that the cooling fan needs to be replaced.
