Just take the cover off. You can go to your local hardware store or pharmacy like walgreens, cvs and purchase an appliance bulb

• I cannot confirm weather your fridge had reversible doors as you listed no model but the standard for fridges that can reverse the door swing are changed by doing this -

1. You will see little plastic covers on the opposite side where the hinges and handles are currently located now.
2. There are some little clips that hinge the screws on the top and bottom of each handle.
3. Remove these little covers with a small flathead screwdriver.
4. Now remove the screws holding the freezer and refrigerator handles on.
5. Now pop the screw hole covers on the side of the frig/freezer you will using.
6. Now place and fasten with screws the handles on the other side of the frig/freezer door.
7. Now remove the top freezer hinge first by removing the 3 screws on top.
8. Now pull up on the hinge (save the spacer).
9. Now pull up on the freezer door.
10. Now remove the screws on the middle hinge.
11. Now pull up and remove the middle hinge while holding the frig door steady (save the spacer).
12. Now pull up on the frig door and set to the side.
13. Now remove the screws on the bottom hinge (save the spacer).
14. Now put the screw hole covers you removed from the other side in the screw hole exposed from the screws you just removed.

• The switch

1. Start with the bottom hinge and place it on the opposite side (don't forget the spacer).
2. Place the frig door on the bottom hinge and the place the middle hinge in the hole at the top of the frig door.
3. Fasten the middle hinge.
4. Place freezer door on the middle hinge.
5. Put the freezer door in it's natural position to make putting the top hinge on possible.
6. Screw the top hinge in.
7. Job complete.

During the defrost cycle heaters in the wall of the freezer are turned on to melt the frost build up. This melted frost "water" is supposed to run out a drain in the bottom of the freezer and collect in a pan under the refrigerator/freezer where it will eventually evaporate. If this drain is blocked it will cause a lot of water to collect in the bottom of the freezer and that water will eventually turn back into ice. I recommend defrosting the freezer manually, removing all the ice/water buildup in the bottom, and trying to unplug the drain line to the pan underneath. Also check the seal on the freezer door. If it's not sealing well it could be letting a lot of moisture enter the freezer which would lead to more frost buildup and more water during the defrost cycle.

If you have never defrosted it before, leave it off for a lot lot longer, doors open in a warm area. Is the fan working when you close the door ?(or hold the door switch in), if not, there could be a problem with the condenser fan), otherwise 90% of the time, they are frosted up internally, and because of good insulation, need time to "warm up" inside, in order to defrost

Hi Nicky,
We just had the same problem; and we've solved it.
Press the MENU button (4 times) until the Pure Water LED is flashing; then press and hold the SET button down until the screen goes back to the main menu.
SORTED!

gas type is on rating label and is probably r600a (butane)
whether it can be repaired if there is a leak, depends quite simply, where the leak is.
what makes you think there is a leak??
