Troubleshooting - Summit Appliance CT661BI Série Mode D'emploi

When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases result from
improper handling and can easily be eliminated.
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
• Check whether the power supply is active and that the thermostat is not set to the STOP (0)
position.
The compressor is running continuously.
• The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be dirty or damaged).
• The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
• The appliance may have been overloaded with items above room temperature.
• There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Assure there is
adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the condenser.)
Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with a compressor,
which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is dependent on where it is placed, how it is
used and how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be
louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a
consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit should be placed and leveled
firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the wall or cabinets standing next to it.)
