BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check
the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.
What to do if your refrigerator does not operate;
Check that;
• There is no power ,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,
• The thermostat setting is on« 0 »position ,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know
which is working into the same socket.
What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly;
Check that;
• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise
(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite
normal. If these sounds are different check that;
• The appliance is well levelled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during the summer holidays)
unplug and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of
mildew and smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when
the doors are left open)
