Troubleshooting.

If your appliance is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following.

The appliance won’t work.

Check the plug is firmly positioned in the wall

 

socket and the power supply is switched on.

 

Check that the thermostat setting is not in the

 

OFF position.

 

Check the power supply with another

 

appliance.

 

Check the fuse.

 

 

There has been a power failure.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.

 

If power does not return within 14 hours, food

 

should be removed from the low temperature

 

compartment and either cooked and eaten

 

within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.

The appliance is making a lot of noise.

Check the appliance is stabilised.

 

Ensure the appliance is not touching the wall

 

or kitchen units. It is normal for it to make a

 

bubbling or gurgling sound.

 

 

Continuous Operation of the Compressor

Has the door been opened frequently or

 

left open for a long period of time?

 

The door is not closed properly/does not seal

 

properly (clean the gasket if it is contaminated

 

or replace it if it is damaged).

 

Check there is adequate air circulation.

 

 

Water is leaking from the refrigerator.

Check that the defrost water outlet is not

 

blocked.

 

Check that stored food or packaging is not in

 

contact with the cooling plate on the interior

 

rear wall of the refrigerator. (NB. It is normal

 

for droplets to run down the cooling plate).

 

Is there ice formation on the interior rear wall?

 

(see ‘Defrosting of the Frozen Food

 

compartment’ ).

 

 

Refrigerator interior light does not work.

SWITCH OFF AT THE SOCKET AND PULL OUT

 

THE MAIN PLUG, check the bulb is in

 

correctly.

 

If it still doesn’t work see ‘Changing the Light

 

Bulb ‘.

 

 

If the appliance is not going to be used for a long time (during holidays) set the thermostat to the OFF position. Defrost, then clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and build up of odours.
