Trouble shooting

Problem

Solution

Smell/odour

Check all the food and drink that is in the fridge is in date 

and correctly packaged. If it isn’t then it should be 

removed immediately or repackaged.

Check for spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer. You 
may need to remove the drawers to check that no 
spillages have settled underneath them. As spillages that 
have not been cleaned and have been left can cause 
smells and unwanted odours.
Check the drainage pipe is not clogged or the drip tray at 
the back of the appliance is full.  The pipe can be cleared 
by pouring hot water through, but you must ensure the 
appliance is turned off, the plug is removed from the 
socket and a jug or bucket is in place to catch the flow of 
water.

The doors do not close properly

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing door closure.
Check the door compartments and shelves are correctly in 
place.
Check the door seal is not warped or torn.
Check the appliance is level.

Unusual noises

Check that the appliance is on a flat, level surface and is 
stable.
Check the spacing's around the appliance and ensure it is 
not touching other items.

Bubbling and gurgling sound: 

• This noise is emitted as 

the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the 
system. This is normal.

Water flowing sound: 

• This is the normal sound of water 

flowing into the drain trough during the defrosting 
process.

If the appliance is operating noisily (compressor noise): 

This is normal. This noise indicates that the compressor is 
operating normally. As the compressor is being energized, 
it might run a bit more noisily for a short period of time.
