Troubleshooting Guide
You can solve many common Fridge problems easily. Please refer to this troubleshooting guide for the possible cause
and solution to your problem outlined below. If you cannot resolve on your own, see “Minibar Systems Contact
Information” at the end of this manual.
The Fridge fails to operate after connecting to electrical power supply:
Check the power cord is properly connected.
Check the power supply in the electrical outlet (blown fuse / circuit breaker).
Make sure the Fridge is working.
The Fridge temperature control is set at “0” position.
Continuous operation of the cooling system:
The door is frequently opened or left open for too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be dirty or damaged).
Perhaps you may have overloaded the Fridge with fresh food.
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the Fridge (assure adequate air circulation).
Fridge is not cold enough:
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
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.
The Fridge does not have the correct clearances.
Abnormal voltage.
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 Fridge is assured. In case ice formation on the inner back wall is increased 0.12” (3 mm) - 0.20” (5
mm) ice should be manually defrosted.
Disconnect the Fridge from the power supply and leave the door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting
and do not scrape the ice of frost layer with sharp objects.
After defrosting is complete close the Fridge door and reconnect to power supply.
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 if damaged).
The door is frequently opened or left open for too long.
The food stored in the Fridge was warm.
The food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
The Minibar is incorrectly placed near a heat or moisture source. See section 4 for additional information
Water is leaking from the Fridge:
If the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel, water will leak from the Fridge.
Clean the clogged outlet with a plastic straw or pipe cleaner.
Manually defrost the increased ice layer (see
“Ice formation on the inner rear wall”)
.
