sufficient ventilation. Ensure the door can be fully closed. To remove the
frost, please refer to the cleaning and care chapter.
Temperature inside is too warm| You may have left the doors open too long or
too frequently:
Or the doors are kept open by some obstacle;
• Or the appliance is located with insufficient clearance at the sides, back
and top.
Temperature inside is too cold| Increase the temperature by following the
“Display controls” chapter.
Doors can’t be closed easily| Check whether the top of the refrigerator is
tilted back by 0.1″-0.2″ (2.5-5mm)to allow the doors to self-close, or if
something inside is preventing the doors from closing.
Water drips on the floor| The water pan (located at the rear bottom of the
cabinet) may not be properly leveled, or the draining spout underneath the top
of the compressor depot may not be properly positioned to direct water into
this pan, or the water spout is blocked, or the water is not fully inserted
into the connector.
• You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the pan,
spout and connector.
• Check if the refrigerator is power-off for a long time, this may cause the
ice in the bucket to melt into water, and flow to the floor.
The light is not working| • The LED light may be damaged. Refer to replace LED
lights in cleaning and care chapter.
• The control system has disabled the lights due to the door being kept open
too long, close and reopen the door to reactivate the lights.
