What to do if the temperature inside my Magic Chef Refrigerator is too warm?
If the temperature inside your Magic Chef Refrigerator is too warm, check if the temperature control is set too warm. If so, turn it to a cooler setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Also, avoid keeping the door open too long or too frequently. Ensure the door is closed completely and that the door gasket seals properly. If you've recently stored a large amount of warm or hot food, allow the refrigerator time to reach its selected temperature. Remember that after being disconnected, the refrigerator requires about 4 hours to cool down completely.

Why is there moisture forming on the inside of my Magic Chef MCBR160B2 Refrigerator walls?
Moisture can form on the inside refrigerator walls of your Magic Chef Refrigerator if the weather is hot and humid, which increases the internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal. Also, check if the door is slightly open, kept open too long, or opened too frequently. Ensure the door is sealed properly.

Moisture can form on the outside of your Magic Chef Refrigerator if the door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the refrigerator to meet warm, moist air from outside.

If the door of your Magic Chef Refrigerator will not close properly, check if the refrigerator is on a level surface and ensure that the gasket is clean.
Why does my Magic Chef Refrigerator compressor turn on and off frequently?
Your Magic Chef Refrigerator compressor might be turning on and off frequently because the room temperature is hotter than normal, a large amount of food has been added to the refrigerator, the door is opened too often or not closed completely, the temperature control is not set correctly, the door gasket does not seal properly, the refrigerator does not have the correct clearances, or the refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Note that it requires about 4 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely.
Why is my Magic Chef MCBR160B2 vibrating?
Your Magic Chef Refrigerator might be vibrating because it is not on a level surface or the floor is uneven or weak. Ensure the floor can adequately support the refrigerator. Level the refrigerator by putting wood or metal shims under it. Also, check if the refrigerator is touching the wall and, if so, re-level it and move it away from the wall.
Why is the outside of my Magic Chef MCBR160B2 warm?
The exterior walls of your Magic Chef Refrigerator can be as much as 30°F warmer than room temperature. This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet.
Why does my Magic Chef MCBR160B2 Refrigerator make a popping or cracking sound when the compressor comes on?
The popping or cracking sound you hear when the compressor comes on in your Magic Chef Refrigerator is due to metal parts undergoing expansion and contraction, similar to hot water pipes. This is normal, and the sound will level off or disappear as the refrigerator continues to run.
