take out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from
improper handling of the appliance and can
easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After
connecting to the Mains Supply
•
Check the supply in the outlet socket and
make sure the appliance is switched on
(thermostat in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System
•
the door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long;
•
the door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or
damaged);
•
perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods;
•
Insufficient cooling of compressor and
condenser. Check the air circulation through
the bottom rail openings and if necessary
clean or vacuum the dust from the
condenser. See Section
Cleaning and
Maintenance.
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
Until the water is drained through the hole in
the rear and into the receptacle at the bottom
of the appliance, normal automatic defrosting
of the appliance is guaranteed. In case the ice
formation on the inner back wall is increased
(3-5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to
STOP (0)
position
and leave the door open. Never use electric
devices for defrosting and do not scrape the
ice or frost layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.
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 it
if it is damaged);
−
the door was frequently opened or it
was left opened for too long;
−
the food stored in the refrigerator was
warm;
−
the food or dish is touching the inner
back wall.
Sound alarm
Excessive dust upon the condenser is signaled
by the sound alarm, audible with each opening
of the door, until the fault is removed.
Check the air circulation through the bottom rail
openings and if necessary clean or vacuum the
dust from the condenser. See Section
Cleaning
and Maintenance.
Water drains into the bottom compartment
of the appliance
Water leaks from the refrigerator if the drain
hole is clogged, or if the water drips past the
collection gutter.
•
Clean the clogged opening, for example with
a plastic straw.
•
Manually defrost the increased ice layer.
See "Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall".
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is
enabled by the refrigerating system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
•
During the operation
of the compressor the
noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant
flow is heard. This is a normal condition and
it has no influence whatsoever on the
lifetime of the appliance.
•
After starting the appliance,
the operation
of the compressor and the refrigerant flow
may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and it
