Haier HFV160 Getting your appliance serviced, Guarantee, Built-in appliance in a fitted kitchen

English

If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food in the appliance begins to defrost. Therefore, take prompt action to eliminate the problem and, if necessary, move the frozen food to another freezer (perhaps to a neighbour).

b)Your appliance is not cooling sufficiently. The freezing process is taking too long. The compressor is running too often.

Please check:

Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to stand for at least 2 hours before switching it on? (To stabilise the circulation of the refrigerating fiuid) see: "starting up".

If not; unplug your appliance and lift it to one side, with the door closed, for a short while, i.e. tilt it and then place it back down on its feet again. After 2 hours plug it back in. Do not open the door again for about 12 hours (i.e. until the red light - if provided - has gone off).

The door does not close tightly and is not sealing properly:

Test: place a sheet of paper between the seal and the casing and close the door. It should be difficult to pull out the sheet of paper on all sides.

If the paper slides out easily on one or more sides, call your nearest service department.

Heavy ice formation on the inside walls of the freezer compartment (see:"cleaning and maintenance")

The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is sited near a direct heat source (oven, radiator etc.).

Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the distance from the heat source / place an insulation plate between the appliance and the source of heat (see "Choosing where to install your appliance").

The freezer has been filled up with a quantity of fresh food which does not comply with the freezing capacity.

Is the ventilation working properly,is the ventilation grille covered or is the condenser on the outer rear wall full of dust?

c) Your appliance is excessively noisy.

Please check:

Is the cabinet standing level and steady, are any nearby objects or items of furniture being vibrated by

the cabinet?

Note: slight bubbling noises are normal for this type of refrigeration system.
