TROUBLESHOOTING
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life and reliable operation.
If a problem occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please note
that even during the warranty period, some repair costs may be your responsibility.
You may be able to correct the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:
Problem | Possible Cause and Remedy | ||
|
|
| |
Appliance does not work, | - Is the appliance turned ON properly? | ||
display is OFF | - Is the power source plug properly inserted in the socket? | ||
| - Is the circuit breaker or fuse in operating condition? | ||
|

not come ON | - Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes? | ||
| - The bulb is defective. Change the bulb as described in Interior light. | ||
|
|
| |
Loud running noise | - Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor | ||
| cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? If necessary, move | ||
| bottles and containers apart. | ||
| - Bubbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant | ||
| flowing around the refrigerant circuit. | ||
| - A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the compressor | ||
| turns ON or OFF automatically. | ||
| - Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the | ||
| compressor turns ON. The refrigerating capacity will increase when | ||
| the SuperFrost function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in | ||
| the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. A | ||
| humming sound is caused by air flow noises in the fan. | ||
|
|
| |
The compressor continues | On energy saving models, this is perfectly normal. When less refrigeration | ||
to run for a long time | is required, the VCC compressor switches to a low speed. It will run almost | ||
| constantly, but it still saves energy. | ||
