Before starting
Use only the instructions supplied for your exact model. If there is a leak, smoke, hot wiring or gas smell, stop and seek qualified help.
1. Protect perishables
If the fridge is clearly warm, transfer perishables to dependable cold storage. Do not assume food is safe after prolonged warming.
2. Check seals and closure
Move obstructing food and verify doors and drawers seal normally.
3. Check airflow
Keep indoor vents clear and follow external clearance instructions. Lack of fan sound alone is not a diagnosis.
4. When to seek service
Repeated compressor, defrost or fan codes need model-specific service diagnosis; do not open sealed refrigerant systems.
