•
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?
•
Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it
to a warmer temperature.
•
Is the temperature in the room very low?
•
Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge? Try moving
those items into the body of the fridge instead of keeping them in the CoolSelect Zone™
drawer.
•
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.
•
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.
•
This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the
refrigerator.
•
Has a food item spoiled?
•
Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.
•
Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.
•
Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
•
Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.
•
Is the freezer door closed properly?
