There are many common issues you may experience with your refrigerator that can be solved very easily, without the 
need of a service call. Try the tips below to troubleshoot your unit should you experience any problems:

Not plugged in or the appliance is turned off

Check the temperature control setting 
External environment may require a higher setting 
The door is opened too often 
The door is not closed completely

the flow of refrigerant in your refrigerator. 
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause 
popping and crackling noises. 
During the defrosting process you may hear a water flowing 
sound caused by water flowing into the drain trough. 
The refrigerator is not on a level surface. 

The door will not close properly 

The refrigerator is not on a level surface.

incorrectly packaged
