Safety Checks You Can Do

8
  1. 1
    • Verify that the circuit breaker for the refrigerator is in the ON position; if tripped, turn OFF and back ON
  2. 2
    • Ensure both the refrigerator and freezer doors are fully closed and sealing properly
  3. 3
    • Check that temperature control settings are adjusted to normal operating range (typically 35-38°F for refrigerator, 0°F for freezer)
  4. 4
    • Inspect all visible vents and air openings inside the refrigerator for blockages or frost accumulation and clear if necessary
  5. 5
    • Ensure the refrigerator has adequate clearance on all sides (minimum 2-3 inches) for proper airflow and ventilation
  6. 6
    • Verify the condenser coils at the back/bottom are not clogged with dust or debris
  7. 7
    • Power down the refrigerator completely by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power to reset the system
  8. 8
    • Check that the refrigerator is level and not tilted, as improper positioning can affect sensor function
Always unplug the appliance before performing any physical check. These are visual/external checks only.
