If after the above checks there is still a fault, call your local AEG Service
Force Centre.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been
made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechani-
cal or electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service
calls.
Technical Terminology
•
Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as
refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low,
that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause
the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
•
Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant
circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser
and pipe work.
•
Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liq-
uids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from
the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. The evap-
orator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam
immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
•
Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in electric
motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task
of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evapora-
tor, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.
•
Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant com-
pressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this
process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the
condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
The compressor does not start immedia-
tely after changing the temperature set-
ting.
This is normal, the compressor starts after
a period of time.
