Troubleshooting.
14
If your appliance is not working properly, it
may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following.
The appliance won’t work.
Check the plug is firmly positioned in the wall
socket and the power supply is switched on.
Check that the thermostat setting is not in the
OFF position.
Check the power supply with another
appliance.
Check the fuse.
There has been a power failure.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
If power does not return within 14 hours, food
should be removed from the low temperature
compartment and either cooked and eaten
within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
The appliance is making a lot of noise.
Check the appliance is stabilised.
Ensure the appliance is not touching the wall
or kitchen units. It is normal for it to make a
bubbling or gurgling sound.
Continuous Operation of the Compressor Has the door been opened frequently or
left open for a long period of time?
The door is not closed properly/does not seal
properly (clean the gasket if it is contaminated
or replace it if it is damaged).
Check there is adequate air circulation.
Water is leaking from the refrigerator.
Check that the defrost water outlet is not
blocked.
Check that stored food or packaging is not in
contact with the cooling plate on the interior
rear wall of the refrigerator. (NB. It is normal
for droplets to run down the cooling plate).
Is there ice formation on the interior rear wall?
(see ‘Defrosting of the Frozen Food
compartment’ ).
Refrigerator interior light does not work. SWITCH OFF AT THE SOCKET AND PULL OUT
THE MAIN PLUG, check the bulb is in
correctly.
If it still doesn’t work see ‘Changing the Light
Bulb ‘.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long time (during holidays) set the thermostat
to the OFF position. Defrost, then clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and build up of odours.
