Haier HFH-50 manual Appliance does not function its not running Please check

English

13 What to do when :

a) The appliance does not function (it's not running).

Please check:

■ Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket properly?

■Is the electricity coming through?

(check	this by	possibly plugging		in a	small
appliance such as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.)
Is the	appliance		switched on?	(Temperature
dial should not be set to "0"or “ OFF“ )
■ Is the house installation			fuse screwed in and intact, or
reset?

b)The appliance is not getting sufficiently cold Compressor is running too often

Please check:
■	Did you	make	sure that the fridge /			freezer	was
left	to stand for at least			2 houre before		switching		it
on? ( To stabilise			the circulation of the refrigerating
fluid ) see: "starting up".
If	no;	Pull	out	the	appliance	plug
connector,		lift appliance		with	door closed on		to	one
side for		a short	time, or place in an inclined position

and then back on its feet. Plug in again after 2 hours. Do not

open the door for	ca. 12 hours.
■ If the door is	closing correctly, the door seal is firmly

and uniformly pressed against the casing.

Test: place a sheet or writing paper between the seal and

the casing and close the	door. The paper
should be difficuit to pull out on all sides.)
Call the after-sales service if the	paper can be pulled out

without resistance at one or more points.

■Heavy ice formation on the internal walls of the

	freezer compartment (see "Cleaning and care")
■	Is	the appliance		exposed	to	direct sunlight		or is
it	sited too close to a heat source (stove, radiator etc.)
Protect		the	appliance from			direct sunlight		/
check distance			from	heat	source		/ place insulation
board between			appliance and		heat		source. (see
"Selecting installation location")

■Is it filled with an excessive quantity of fresh food

■Is the aeration and venting ok, is the ventilation grille

covered or is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the rear outside wall of the appliance laden with dust?

c) The temperature in the fridge compartment is too low

■Set the temperature controller to a lower setting

■	Check whether the			freezer compartment door			is
	correctly closed
■	Has a large amount (more				than 1 kg) of fresh	food
	been frozen?		(this will	cause the refrigeration		unit
	to run	for a very long time and the temperature				in the
	fridge compartment will automatically fall)
■	Has the supercooling			function - where fitted - not cut
	Out
b)	The	frozen	produce		defrosts because	it	is
	too	warm in the freezer compartment

Instruction for use Freezer

■Has the room temperature for which your appliance is

designed, been fallen below? (if the room temperature is too low, the refrigeration unit runs less frequently. Therefore it can be too warm in the freezer compartment)

Increase the room temperature.

e) Has a thick coating of ice formed in the

freezer compartment?

■Check whether the door of the freezer

compartment closes correctly

■If the frozen produce is frozen in place,

release		it using a blunt object, e.g. with the handle
of a spoon
■	Allow	the	freezer	compartment to defrost
and then clean it (see chapter				Defrosting")
An	excessively thick		coating of ice reduces the cooling

capacity and the current consumption increases.

f) The interior light does not function

Check as follows

■Is the light contact switch jammed?

■If not, then the lamp is defective. Change the lamp as described in chapter Interior light - changing the lamp"

g) Appliance is excessively noisy

Check as follows

■ Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor,

are adjacent	items of furniture or objects being caused to
vibrate by	the running fridge/freeaer? Ensure that all

parts mounted to the rear wall can vibrate freely;

■carefully bend aside any contacting parts or increase the distance between the appliance and the obstacle.

■ Are all removable parts correctly seated in the

appliance?

■Are any bottles or containers touching?

Note; Flowing sounds in the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided.

In no case are any interventions of a	technical nature
to be made to the appliance or	attempts made
to -repair it yourself.
