Häufige Probleme und Lösungen:
- Kühlschrank kühlt nicht: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature control knob is set correctly. Verify that the doors are fully closed and not obstructed.
- Ungewöhnliche Geräusche: Some operational noises (e.g., humming, gurgling) are normal. If loud or persistent noises occur, ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching walls or other appliances.
- Excessive Frost Build-up (Freezer): Although this is a frost-free model, ensure the freezer door is not left open for extended periods and that door seals are intact.
- Odors Inside Refrigerator: Ensure all food items are properly sealed. Clean the interior regularly with a mild solution. The anti-odor action feature should minimize this, but strong-smelling foods can still cause temporary odors.
