Problem

Solution

Smell/odour

Check all the food and drink that is in the freezer 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 settle underneath them. As spillages that 
have not been cleaned and have been left can cause 
smells and unwanted odours.

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.

Controls don’t work

Check if the child lock has been activated. Deactivate if it 
has been activated by pressing and holding the up and 
down controls together for 3 seconds.
