Troubleshooting
When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many
cases result from improper handling and can easily be eliminated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
•
Check whether the power supply is active and that the thermostat is not
set to the
STOP (0)
position.
The compressor is running continuously.
•
The door was opened frequently or was left open too long.
•
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag or the gasket may be
dirty or damaged).
•
The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
•
The appliance may have been overloaded with items above room
temperature.
•
There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser.
(Assure there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe
the dust from the condenser.)
Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with
a 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 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. This does not mean that something is
wrong. Gradually the noise is reduced.
•
Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This
noise is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit
should be placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not
touch the wall or cabinets standing next to it.)
