Troubleshooting
The appliance fails to work when first connected to
the electricity supply.
Check there are no faults with the socket you are using by
plugging in an appliance you know to be working.
Make sure that you have switched the thermostat to an ‘on’
position.
The appliance seems to be continually running.
The door has been opened frequently.
The door isn’t properly closed because the seal needs
cleaning, or is damaged.
The door is damaged – leading to it dropping out of correct
alignment with the appliance.
The appliance has recently been filled with more food than
usual.
Ventilation is compromised – the condenser or the
compressor require clearing from dust.
There is inadequate ventilation around the appliance – other
appliances or units are too close.
The ‘Quick Freeze’ function has been switched on.
Ice has formed on the rear wall of the appliance, or it
is leaking water
If the outlet to the drain pan is clear, then automatic
defrosting will take care of this.
If the outlet is not clear, you need to clean it out with a
plastic straw, water should them be able to flow to the drain
pan and evaporate.
Ice is caused by the following:
The door seal needs cleaning / replacing as it is not holding
the door closed.
The door has been opened frequently or left open.
Food stored with the fridge was too warm.
Something inside the fridge is touching the rear wall.
