Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn’t my refrigerator cooling properly?

A: Several factors could be responsible:

• Power supply: Ensure the unit is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. A tripped breaker or blown fuse may be the issue.
• Door seal: Check the gasket for damage or poor contact. A weak seal allows cold air to escape, reducing cooling performance.
• Ventilation: Make sure there’s enough clearance around the unit for proper airflow. Blocked ventilation can cause overheating and poor cooling.
• Dirty condenser coils: Dust-covered coils (found at the back or underneath) can prevent efficient heat dissipation. Clean them with a vacuum or coil brush.
• Evaporator fan: This fan circulates cold air from the freezer to the fridge. If it’s frozen over or malfunctioning, the refrigerator section won’t cool.

Q: The freezer works, but the refrigerator doesn’t. What’s wrong?

A: For the refrigerator, this usually means the evaporator fan in the freezer is blocked by ice or has failed. To troubleshoot:

• Unplug the unit and empty both compartments.
• Leave the doors open and let it defrost for at least 24 hours.
• Wipe up any water, then plug it back in.
• If the issue persists, the fan motor or temperature sensor may need to be replaced.

Q: How do I defrost the refrigerator?

A:

• Refrigerator compartment: Auto-defrosts. Ice on the back wall melts during the compressor’s off-cycle.
• Freezer compartment: Requires manual defrosting. Defrost it when frost buildup becomes excessive. Avoid using sharp tools to remove ice.

Q: Why is there excessive ice in the refrigerator section?

A: This could be due to:

• A damaged or misaligned door gasket, allowing moist air inside.
• A temperature setting that’s too low, causing overcooling and frost buildup.

Q: How do I adjust the temperature on the CP34W?

A: Use the dial thermostat located in the top-right corner of the refrigerator section.

• Settings range from 0 (off) to 7 (coldest).
• The recommended setting for regular use is 3 or 4.
• Note: The actual internal temperature is affected by:
• Room temperature
• Frequency of door openings
• Amount and temperature of stored food
• If warm food is added, allow up to 24 hours for the unit to stabilize.

Q: Are the noises from my refrigerator normal?

A: Some noises are typical, while others may require attention:

Normal Sounds:

• Popping/cracking: Caused by parts expanding or contracting during temperature shifts.
• Gurgling: Refrigerant moving through the coils.

Potential Issues:

• Loud, continuous buzzing: Could mean the evaporator fan is hitting ice. Try defrosting the unit.
• Clicking or loud humming: May indicate a compressor issue, which might need professional repair.
