Midea 231L Upright Fridge – Silver

It’s best to let food cool slightly before refrigerating to avoid raising the internal temperature and overworking the compressor.

A moderately full fridge maintains temperature better than an empty one but avoid over packing the fridge to allow for air circulation.

Clean shelves and drawers monthly. Deep clean every 3–6 months, including door seals and drip trays.

Use baking soda, activated charcoal, or a bowl of coffee grounds. Regular cleaning also helps prevent smells.

Turn it off, remove contents, and let ice melt naturally. Use towels to absorb water and clean thoroughly afterward.

Check for the following:

• Blocked vents
• Dirty condenser coils at the back of the fridge
• The thermostat might be faulty
• The fridge is too full

This could be due to:

• a clogged defrost drain
• Condensation from frequent door openings
• Temperature not set correctly

Some humming or clicking is normal. Loud or unusual noises may indicate a fan, compressor, or motor issue.

This could be due to blocked air vents, a faulty fan, or a defrost system failure.

• Keep it away from heat sources
• Ensure door seals are tight
• Don’t overload it
• Set correct temperatures
• Clean coils regularly
