Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• 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.
There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use 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 for 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.
