Trouble-Shooting Guide

Sometimes you may come across minor problems
that in most cases do not require a service call and
can be easily eliminated. The problem may have
resulted from improper handling and/or installation
of the appliance. Please refer to the below
troubleshooting guide to assist you in identifying
the possible cause and solution to your problem.
Should the problem still persist after completing
these checkpoints. Contact the closest authorized
service agent in your area for assistance.
The Appliance Fails to Operate
After Connecting to Electrical Power
Supply
• Check the power cord is properly connected.
• Check the power supply in the electrical outlet.
(blown fuse / circuit breaker)
• Make sure the appliance is switched on.
(thermostat knob in operating position)
Continuous Operation of the Cooling
System
• The door is frequently opened or left open for too
long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be damaged).
• Perhaps you may have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the
compressor (assure adequate air circulation).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel
and through the outlet to the drain pan on the
compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance
is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is
increased (1/8 - 1/4 inches), ice should be
manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and
leave the door open. Never use electric devices for
defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer
with sharp objects.
After defrosting is complete, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.The
cause of increased ice formation may be one of
the following: the door does not seal well (clean
the gasket if it is dirty, or replace it if it is
- the door is frequently opened or left open too
long;
- the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;
- the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
If the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the
defrost water drips over the channel, water will leak
from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged outlet, for example with a
plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice
Formation on the Inner rear Wall"
Noise
Cooling in a refrigerator-freezing appliance is made
possible by cooling the system using a
compressor, which will produce certain noise
levels. How noisy the appliance is depends on
where it is placed.
• During the operation of the compressor the
noise of the liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no
influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the
compressor and the refrigerant flow may be
louder, which does not mean that something is
wrong with the appliance and it has no influence
on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the
noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and louder noise is heard,
which is rather unusual for the appliance. This
noise is often a consequence of inadequate
installation.
- The appliance must be level and installed on a
firm solid base/floor.
- It should not touch the wall or kitchen units
standing next to it.
- Check the accessories on the interior of the
appliance, they should be placed correctly in their
positions; also check, bottles, tins, and other
vessels are not touching each other causing
rattling and/or vibrations.
