What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
• You have overloaded the appliance.
• The thermostat setting is on position “1” (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value).
• The doors are closed properly,
• There is no
dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• The compressor may cause more no
ise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.
If you hear any other noises check that:
--The appliance is level
--Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
--The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check that:
• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
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.
Recommendations
• If the appliance
is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appliance in or
restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets
or ice
may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals.
This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless there is excessive ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge f
or a long period of time (such as during the summer holidays),
disconnect the appliance from the mains, defrost and clean your fridge, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
