Refrigerator operation
Concern
What to do
Appliance will not run.
It is normal for the freezer fan not to
operate during the automatic defrost cycle,
or for a short time after the appliance is
switched on.
Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is switched on.
Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has not
blown.
The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.
Compressor motor seems to run
too long.
At normal room temperatures, expect your
motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time.
Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often.
Ensure that the doors are not held open.
Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside the
appliance.
Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when
adjusting to temperature setting changes.
The exterior of the appliance is warm or
hot to touch.
This is normal because the appliance
transfers heat from the inside out through
the outer panels and the divider between
the doors.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the section
“Installing your new appliance”.
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even feel
hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.
Frost build up
Check that all doors are fully closed.
Ensure that the doors are not opened too often.
Ensure that the return air vents are not blocked with packaging.
Ensure the seals are clean and not obstructed.
Odours
The interior may need cleaning, refer to cleaning guide.
Ensure that food is stored correctly as some food, containers and wrapping can
produce odours.
Check appliance for old or unusual food.
Lights not working
The LED lighting is designed to turn
on gradually.
Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is switched on.
Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has
not blown.
Check the appliance features section to determine lighting configuration for
your model.
