WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often oc-
cur, which does not require calling a tech-
nician out. In the following chart information
is given about them to avoid unnecessary
charges on service.
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (com-
pressor and circulating sound). This
not means a trouble, but a normal
operation.
The appliance operates discontinu-
ously, so the stopping of compres-
sor does not mean being no cur-
rent. That is why you must not
touch the electrical parts of the ap-
pliance before breaking the circuit.
Problem Possible cause Solution

noisy.
The appliance is not sup-
ported properly.
Check if the appliance
stands stable (all feet and
wheels should be on the
