Check Warnings

 

If your fridge is not operating;

 

Is there a power failure?

Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?

Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main 

fuse blown?

Is there any failure at the socket?  To check this, plug your refrigerator 

into a socket that you know is working. 

If your fridge is not cooling sufficiently enough:

 

Is the thermostat setting correct?

Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long 

while?

Is the door of fridge closed properly?

Did you put a dish or food in your fridge so that it touches the rear wall 

of your fridge and prevents air circulation?

Is your fridge filled excessively?

Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side 

walls?

Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the 

operating manual? 

If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled

 

Is the thermostat setting correct?

Has there been any food recently put inside the freezer compartment?

If  so,  your  fridge  may  over  cool  the  food  inside  the  refrigerator 

compartment as it will operate for longer to cool this food. 

If your fridge is operating too loudly:

 

To maintain the set cooling level, the compressor may be activated from 

time  to  time.  Noises  from  your  fridge  at  this  time  are  normal  and  due 

to  its  operation.  When  the  required  cooling  level  is  reached,  noise  will 

automatically be decreased. If the noises persist:

 

Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?

Is there anything behind your fridge?

Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the 

shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.

Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
