Troubleshooting - Marvel ML24FA Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Before You Call for Service
If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through
this manual first. If the problem persists, check the trouble-
shooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and
refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service.
The problem may be something very simple that can be
solved without a service call. However, it may be required
to contact your dealer or a qualified service technician.
NOTE
Your freezer has been designed to be very energy efficient.
Because of this the storage compartment has an almost air
tight seal. Therefore when accessing contents and closing
the door, the warm air intrusion will collapse due to the cold
compartment temperature creating a slight vacuum inside
the unit. This may make the door harder to open for about
10 seconds until the internal pressure equalizes with the
exterior.
WARNING
!
Electrocution Hazard
• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on
the appliance until the main electrical power has been
disconnected. Turning the appliance control "OFF"
does not remove electrical power from the unit's wiring.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your product has an automatic defrost feature that utilizes
an electric heater element. Periodically during defrost you
may observe the following:
• Water dripping and running sounds as a result of the
frost melt.
• Sizzling and popping sounds from water dripping on
the heater element.
• A faint reddish glow in the freezer compartment from
the electric heater element.
These are all "normal" operating characteristics related to
refrigeration product incorporating automatic defrost. They
do not represent any product fault or safety issue.
In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not
unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call
a qualified service technician immediately. It is possible
that the loss of cooling capacity is a result of excessive
frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case,
removing power to the unit will result in the melting of this
excessive quantity of ice, which could generate melt water
that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and
could result in water damage to your home. The end-user
will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused
by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately
managing the excess water run-off.
Possible Cause
• Control set too warm
• Content temperature not stabilized.
• Excessive usage or prolonged door open-
ings.
• Airflow to front grille blocked.
• Door gasket not sealing properly.
• Control set too cold
• Door gasket not sealing properly.
• Failed LED light assembly or light switch.
• Door not activating light switch.
• Failed light switch
• Appliance not level
• Fan hitting tube obstruction.
• Appliance turned off
• Power cord not plugged in.
• No power at outlet.
