5.2. FAULTS
SYMPTOMS
PROBABLE
CAUSE
CHECKS
Closely-spaced starts do not give time
for pressure to re-balance:
Check that the food in the compartment
is not hot or full of water
Check the state of the gaskets and the
number of times the doors are opened
Compressor protection cutting in
The refrigeration unit is not operating
properly: check loading of the circuit in
general and the compressor in particular
Power supply voltage is outside the
admitted range
Electrical problems
The compressor terminals are not live;
check the connections and the state of
the contacts upstream from the motor.
Compressor has mechanical faults
COMPRESSOR NOT
STARTING
Component problems
Winding split or burnt
Type of load: check that the food is not
placed in the compartment hot or full of
water.
Compartment doors: check the state of
the gaskets and the number of times the
doors are opened
Improper use of the appliance
Incoming air is insufficient; check the
flow through the air grilles
The amount of cooler is no longer
sufficient: check pressure for suction and
delivery and look for leaks on the circuit.
POOR PERFORMANCE
OR OVERHEATING OF
COMPRESSOR
Fault on the cooling circuit
Compressor has problems of
mechanical output: check pressure for
suction and delivery.
