Trouble Shooting
1. When the refrigerator does not work:
Check if there is a power failure.
Check if the power plug is plugged into the
power outlet.
Check that the R.C.D. has not been tripped.
If ambient temperature is above 40°C the Thermal
Safety Cut may have operated. Check if unit has
restarted once ambient temperature is below
30°C.
2. When the refrigerator is cooling excessively:
The temperature control dial may be set too
high. If you place drinks containing a lot of water
directly under the cool air outlets they may freeze.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
3. When the refrigerator is not cooling
sufficiently:
The drinks may be packed too tightly together
which will block the flow of cool air. You may
have put something hot or a lot of drinks into
the refrigerator. The door may not have closed
properly. There may be insufficient clearance
between the refrigerator and the other surfaces,
both sides, back and above. The temperature
control dial may not be set low enough. Daily
ambient temperature may be excessively high.
Check there is no direct sun on front of fridge.
4. When condensation forms on the outside of
the refrigerator:
Condensation may form on the outside when
the humidity is high. This is the same result as
the condensation formed when chilled water
is poured into a glass. It does not indicate a
malfunction. Wipe dry with a cloth.
5. When you hear a sound like water flowing:
A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant
flowing. It does not indicate a malfunction.
6. When the cabinets side panel heats up:
The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when
the door is opened and closed frequently, when
starting the unit and when the unit operates in
summer with high ambient outside temperature.
Do not touch the side panel, it is a result of heat
from inside the cabinet. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
