CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
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.
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 humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the
refrigerator?
• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened frequently?
• It is normal to have water drops formed on the back wall after the automatic defrosting process. (In Static
Models)
If the doors do not opened and closed properly;
• Is there an obstruction?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers correctly positioned?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
If the edges of fridge cabinet are warm;
In hot weather it is normal for the surfaces to warm as the compressor works.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the
appliance, this is because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. This is quite normal, and the fridge
will restart after 4 or 5 minutes.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the
rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There
is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to
these instructions and leave the door open to prevent humidity and odour build up.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for use at home. It is not suitable for commercial use. If used
in settings other than domestic the warranty will no longer be valid.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult an authorised service
provider.
