OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
•
The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work.
Check that your
house electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the electricity supply socket.
•
The noise has become louder.
Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level
place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any
furniture, and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance
body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check
that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that
might be touching each other.
•
Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment.
Check
whether a thaw water channel space isn’t blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space
with a cleaner intended for that purpose.
•
Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves.
Food items or dishes in the
refrigeration compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let
food items or dishes touch the back wall.
•
Moisture dripping from under the glass shelves.
If you placed many containers
with liquids on the shelf, moisture can condense and drip onto the shelf below. Move
some containers with liquids onto other shelves.
•
Water has appeared under the appliance.
The thaw water collection tray has
slipped off the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.
•
When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out.
The
gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the
groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry.
Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place
•
High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short.
Ascertain whether the appliance doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept
open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large
amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.
•
The top of the appliance has condensation on it.
The ambient relative air humidity
is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if possible remove
the cause of the humidity.
Remarks on the appliance operating noise.
As the appliance operates and goes
through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is normal and is not a sign
of any malfunction.
As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes
sounds like murmuring, bubbling, or rustling. Louder sounds like popping or clicking may
be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s compressor switches on.
