our fridge is operating noisily
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
•
During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
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 splash:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the
system.
Air blowing noise:
Indicates normal operation of the system due to the circulation of
air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the cooler
Check if:
•
All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
•
The fridge door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster when the doors are opened more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
The door is not opening and 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 joints are broken or torn
•
Your fridge is level.
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.
•
If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean
your fridge according to chapter cleaning and leave the door open to prevent humidity
and smell.
•
If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult
the nearest authorised service centre.
