American Fridge Freezer FAQ's

What is an American Fridge Freezer?

An American fridge freezer is a large, freestanding appliance that typically features a side-by-side design for the fridge and freezer. It offers more storage space compared to traditional models and often comes with additional features like water and ice dispensers.

How much space is required for installation?

Ensure you have at least 5 cm of space on each side and at the back of the appliance for adequate ventilation. Measure doorways and corridors to ensure the unit will fit through during delivery.

Is a plumbing connection necessary?

A plumbing connection is required for some models that have a water and ice dispenser. However, a few models come with a water tank built in and may not require plumbing.

How energy-efficient are American fridge freezers?

Look for the energy rating label on the appliance; the scale ranges from A to G. Higher ratings mean better energy efficiency.

Do American fridge freezers come with a frost-free feature?

Most modern American fridge freezers are frost-free, meaning they prevent ice build-up, which allows for easier maintenance.

What is the typical lifespan?

The average lifespan is around 10-15 years, though it can vary based on the brand and how well the appliance is maintained.

Can I install it myself?

While basic installation is often straightforward, it's recommended to have a qualified technician handle it, especially if a water connection is required.

How do I clean and maintain my American fridge freezer?

Regularly wipe down interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth.
For the ice and water dispenser, consult the user manual for specific
cleaning instructions.

What should I do if my appliance is making strange noises?

Some noise is normal, especially when the appliance is new. However, persistent or loud noises might indicate a problem and should be checked by a technician.

How do the temperature settings work?

American fridge freezers usually come with digital or manual controls that let you adjust the temperature of both the fridge and freezer compartments. Check the user manual for specific instructions, as setting the right temperature is crucial for food safety and energy efficiency.
