Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Water Dispenser Issues**
Problems with the water dispenser not dispensing water could be due to air in the water line, the need for the water filter to be replaced, or low water pressure -
**Ice Maker Problems**
The ice maker might not produce ice efficiently due to clogs in the ice chute, issues with water supply, or the need to reset the shutoff arm position in the ice maker -
**Condenser Coil Maintenance**
Although not routine for most environments, dirty condenser coils in greasy, dusty, or pet-populated environments can lead to inefficiencies. Cleaning these every six months is advisable -
**Temperature Control Issues**
If either the refrigerator or freezer sections are not cooling effectively, this might be due to improper temperature settings, blocked airflow, or a malfunctioning part within the sealed refrigeration system -
**LED Lighting Problems**
Issues with the LED lighting not functioning can be electrical in nature or related to an LED bulb needing replacement; some models have permanently sealed LED modules

**Details**: Ensure the door seals are free from food residues and clinging magnets to maintain proper sealing and energy efficiency.
- Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before any cleaning to avoid electric shock and accidental changes to settings.
- Use a soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or cloths which can damage surfaces.
- Clean the touch screen display (if present) by dampening a lint-free cloth with a mild detergent solution and gently wiping the screen. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the screen.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Ensure proper ventilation by allowing a 1/2" space on each side and at the top, and a 1" space behind the refrigerator.
- Keep the fresh food and freezer compartments as full as possible to minimize temperature fluctuations.
- Adjust the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to their ideal settings—38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer, as this balance maintains food safety while minimizing energy use.
- Periodically check the door seals for air leaks, as tight seals prevent warm air from entering, helping to maintain energy efficiency.
- Regularly clean the condenser coils, especially if you have pets, to prevent buildup that can cause the refrigerator to work harder and consume more energy.
- Do not use an extension cord to power the refrigerator. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person to avoid a hazard.
- Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction. This is necessary to ensure proper air circulation and prevent overheating.
- Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant inside the refrigerator.
- Connect the refrigerator to a potable water supply only, to ensure water safety and prevent contamination.
- When disposing of an old refrigerator, remove the doors and leave the shelves in place to prevent child entrapment.
