Troubleshooting
The appliance does not work
Check if the appliance has become unplugged.
Check to see if the power cord has become damaged – if it
has, un-plug the appliance and call for a service engineer
visit.
The voltage may not be correct for this appliance.
The appliance is making noises
The appliance is cooled by the compressor, which will make
a certain amount of noise when the appliance is switched
on.
The amount of noise depends on the age of the appliance
(older appliances may become noisier), the positioning of
the appliance (a levelled appliance is less noisy) and how the
appliance is used.
During use, you may hear the sound of the refrigerant being
circulated, and the sound of it flowing when the compressor
is off. The sound of the compressor itself, which is a
humming sound and a click when the compressor switches
off and on.
When you are starting the appliance for the first time, or
have had the appliance switched off for a prolonged length
of time, the sounds described above may be louder.
If noises seem to be too loud, or a little unusual it is more
than likely because the appliance requires levelling, or it is
touching an adjacent unit.
The light does not work
Check that the power supply has not been interrupted (i.e.
the plug has been disconnected).
The bulb may need replacing.
