Troubleshooting
In the event that your unit is not operating properly, check the following before calling for service
assistance—this may save you the cost of unnecessary service calls
.
Symptom
Possible Cause of Problem
Unit not operating.
Make certain that the unit is connected to a grounded outlet.
Make
certain that
the refrigerator or freezer control is not turned to "0" or "OFF".
Unit runs
continuously
A leak around the door gasket will allow cold air to escape. This causes unit to
work harder than necessary to maintain cold temperatures. Re-seat or replace
the gasket if worn.
If you have temperature set too cold, this may cause unit to run continuously.
Check optimum running temperature.
Is the ambient air over 43ºC (109ºF), or the units located close to heat sources?
If possible, move to a different location.
Noise problems.
This can be caused by contents of unit being set too close and rattling against
each other. Rearrange contents as needed.
Hissing or gurgling noise is caused by refrigerating fluid circulating and is
normal.
Noise can result if unit is not level on floor. Check with level.
