•
When the appliance is cooled or
warmed (due to expansion of
appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs:
When the
thermostat switches the compressor on/
off.
Motor noise:
Indicates the compressor
is operating normally. The compressor
may cause more noise for a short time
when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing
occurs:
Due to the flow of the
refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs:
Due
to water flowing to the evaporation
container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs:
During
normal operation of the system due to
the circulation of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside
the fridge
Check if:
•
All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
fridge.
•
The fridge doors are opened
frequently. Humidity of the room will
enter the fridge each time the doors
are opened. Humidity increases faster
if the doors are opened frequently,
especially if the humidity of the room
is high.
•
There is a build-up of water droplets
on the rear wall. This is normal
after automatic defrosting (in Static
Models).
The doors are not opening or closing
properly
Check if:
•
There is food or packaging preventing
the door from closing
•
The door compartments, shelves and
drawers are placed properly
•
The door gaskets are broken or torn
•
Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge in contact with
the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather),
the surfaces in contact with the door joint
may become warmer during operation of
the compressor. This is normal.
Important Notes:
•
In the case of a power failure, or
if the appliance is unplugged and
plugged in again, the gas in the
cooling system of your refrigerator will
destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open.
Your refrigerator will start to operate
normally after 5 minutes.
•
If the appliance will not be used for a
long period of time (such as during
holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost
and clean the refrigerator, leaving the
door open to prevent the formation of
mildew and odour.
•
If the problem persists after you have
followed all the instructions above,
please consult the nearest Authorised
Service Centre.
