same socket.

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The fridge temperature set to MAX.
• The door is closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
Normal Noises;
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor
may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise
can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of
the system due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the
compressor, this is normal.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge freezer;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge freezeer's doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is
opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of
the room is high.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door joints broken or torn?
• Is your fridge freezer on a level surface?
