troubleshooting guide below. Locate the problem in the

CAUTION
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.
NOTE
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.
