Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service of your appliance, you can come across some troubles that in most cases result from improper handling of the appliance that can easily be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Power Supply
•Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in the operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System
•The drawer was frequently opened or it was left open too long.
•The drawer is not properly closed (the drawer gasket may be damaged, or the drawer may not be seated correctly in its track).
•Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with too many items.
•The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condensers (assure adequate air circulation in the rear and wipe off the condenser).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured. In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (1/8”), ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to 0 (OFF) position and leave the drawers open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects. After completing defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close the refrigerator drawer.
The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following reasons:
-The drawer does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged).
-The drawer was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.
-The food stored in the refrigerator was warm.
Water is Leaking from the Refrigerator
In case the discharged water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel, or water leaks from the refrigerator just clean the clogged opening with a plastic straw. Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See “Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall”.
