Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer support, please check the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator does not operate | Not plugged in; circuit breaker tripped; power outage. | Ensure plug is secure; check circuit breaker; verify power supply. |
| Temperature is not cold enough | Temperature set too high; door not closed properly; excessive door openings; poor ventilation; unit overloaded. | Lower temperature setting; ensure door seals tightly; reduce frequency of door openings; ensure adequate clearance around unit; do not overload. |
| Excessive noise | Unit not level; objects vibrating against the unit; normal compressor operation. | Adjust leveling feet; ensure no objects are touching the unit; some noise from compressor is normal. |
| Condensation on glass door | High humidity; door left open too long; door gasket not sealing. | This unit has Low-E glass to minimize condensation. Ensure door is closed properly and gasket is clean. In very high humidity, some condensation may still occur. |
