Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible cause

The freezer temperature is not 
cool enough.

The room temperature is hotter than normal.

 A large amount of food has been added at once.

The door is opened too often.

The door is not closed completely.

The temperature control  is not set correctly.

The door gasket does not seal properly.

There are vibrations.

The freezer is not level.

The freezer seems to make too 
much noise.

refr

A

 

rattling noise may come from the flow of the

igerant, which is normal. A popping and crackling 

noise may be caused by the contraction and expansion 
of the inside walls.

The freezer is not level, or is touching other furniture.

Bottles or packages inside the freezer are touching each 

other.

The door will not close 
properly.

The freezer is not level.

The door was reversed and is not properly installed.

The gasket is dirty or bent.

 The shelves, racks or crisper are out of position.

The freezer door will not open.

If the door has just been opened,  leave it for a few 

minutes to allow the air pressure to equalise before 
trying again.

Moisture forms on the inside 
or outside walls of the  
freezer.

Hot and humid weather increases the internal rate of 

frost build-up. This is normal.

Open the door less often and make sure it is always 

properly closed.

The freezer does not operate.     

 It is not plugged in. Ensure it is properly plugged in and 

there is power at the socket (plug another appliance into 
the outlet to check).

The circuit breaker tripped or has blown a fuse.

The freezer temperature control  is set to OFF.

A general power outage has cut power to your home 

(check the household lights).

If you experience a problem with your freezer, check in the following table for solutions 
to help you solve the problem.  If after these checks you still have a problem with your

 

freezer, call the after sales support line for advice.
