Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across
some troubles that in most cases result from
improper handling of the appliance and can
easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After
Connecting to the Mains Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and
make sure the appliance is switched on
(thermostat knob in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System
• the door was frequently opened or it was
left opened for too long;
• the door is not properly closed (the door
may sag, the gasket may be polluted or
damaged);
• perhaps you have overloaded the
appliance with fresh foods;
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation
of the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser);
• Continuous operation button activated (see
section Freezing of Food).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the
channel and through the outlet to the drain pan
on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the
appliance is assured. In case the ice formation
on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm),
ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to
STOP (0)
position
and leave the door open. Never use electric
devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice
or frost layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be
one of the following:
- the door does not seal well (clean the
gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it
if it is damaged);
- the door was frequently opened or it was
left opened for too long;
- the food stored in the refrigerator was
warm;
- the food or dish is touching the inner
back wall.
Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged,
or the defrost water drips over the channel,
water leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged opening, for example
with a plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer.
See Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances
is enabled by the cooling system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
• During the operation
of the compressor
the noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant
fl
ow is heard. This is a normal condition
and it has no in
fl
uence whatsoever on the
lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance
, the operation
of the compressor and the refrigerant
fl
ow
may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and
it has no in
fl
uence on the lifetime of the
appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes
unusual and stronger
noise
is heard, which is rather unusual
for the appliance. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate placing.
- The appliance shall be placed and
levelled
fi
rmly on solid base.
- It should not touch the wall or kitchen
units standing next to it.
- Check the accesories in the interior of
the appliance, they should be placed
correctly in their positions; also check the
bottles, tins and other vessels that might
touch each other and rattle.
