  William PayneAug 6, 2025
  If the compressor of your KRATOS Refrigerator isn't running, there are several potential causes: * A fuse may be blown, or the circuit breaker may have tripped. In this case, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If this doesn’t fix the problem, contact a qualified service technician. * The power cord might be unplugged. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and check that the relevant breaker isn’t tripped. * The thermostat may be set too high. Try setting the thermostat to a lower temperature. * A ground fault protector may have tripped. Reset or eliminate the GFI breaker or receptacle.

  If the cabinet temperature of your KRATOS Refrigerator is too warm, consider the following: * The thermostat may be set too high. Adjust the thermostat to a lower temperature. * Airflow might be blocked. Re-arrange the products inside to allow for proper air flow, ensuring at least four inches of clearance from the fan. * Low refrigerant levels could be the issue. Contact a qualified service technician to check refrigerant levels. * The door may be slightly ajar. Ensure the door is completely closed.

  If your KRATOS Refrigerator is making a loud noise, here are a few possible reasons: 1. The floor may be too weak, or the unit isn't level. Check the installation to confirm the unit is level and adjust the tray position. 2. The back of the unit could be too close to the wall. 3. The tray might not be in the correct position. 4. The fan blade may be obstructed or unbalanced. Clear any obstruction from the fan blade or replace the fan.
