If your refrigerator is not working properly,it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.
What to do if your refrigerator does not operate ;
Check that ;
• There is no power ,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,
• The thermostat setting is on « • » position ,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know
which is working into the same socket.
What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly ;
Check that ;
• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If there is noise ;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight
noise(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is
quite normal. If these sounds are different check that ;
• The appliance is well leveled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator ;
Check that ;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged(Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole)
Recommendations
• W hile power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the
refrigerator. You should delay pluging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply.
• If you plug out the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It
is important for avoiding damage to refrigerator's components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets
or icing 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 icing is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the
thermostat to « • » position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door
open to prevent humidity and smell.
