Frequently Asked Questions - DKS 123 BE Scancool

How do I adjust the temperature on my Scancool DKS 123 BE?

Use the thermostat dial inside the fridge compartment. Turn it clockwise for colder, counterclockwise for warmer. Wait a few hours for the temperature to stabilize. The recommended setting is mid-way.

Why is my fridge making a clicking noise?

Clicking sounds are normal and come from the compressor turning on and off. If the noise is loud or continuous, check if the fridge is level and not touching walls or cabinets.

How often should I defrost my Scancool DKS 123 BE?

Defrost the freezer compartment when frost reaches about 5 mm (0.2 inches) thickness. For the fridge section, no defrosting is needed as it is automatic.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Consult the manual for detailed steps. You'll need a screwdriver and possibly an assistant to hold the door.

What is the correct way to clean the fridge?

Unplug the appliance. Remove all food and shelves. Clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Why is there water pooling inside the fridge?

This may be due to a blocked defrost drain. Clean the drain hole using a pipe cleaner or cotton swab. Ensure the drain is not obstructed by food items.

How can I save energy with my refrigerator?

Keep the fridge away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure door seals are clean and tight. Let hot food cool before placing inside. Open the door as briefly as possible.

My fridge is not cooling enough. What should I do?

Check the thermostat setting. Ensure the condenser coils at the back are clean. Verify that the door closes properly. If the problem persists, contact a technician.

Can I store vegetables in the door bins?

It's better to store vegetables in the crisper drawer where humidity is controlled. Door bins are best for bottles, jars, and condiments.

How do I change the interior light bulb?

Unplug the fridge. Remove the light cover (usually snaps off). Replace with a LED bulb of the same type and wattage (typically 10W max). Reattach cover and plug in.
