OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS What if ...
The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work. Check that your house
•
electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the
electricity supply socket.
The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level
•
place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any
furniture, and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body
is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check that the
cause of increased noise isn't due to bottles, cans in the appliance that might be touching
each other.
Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check whether
•
a thaw water channel space isn't blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space with a cleaner
intended for that purpose.
Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has slipped off
•
the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.
When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The gasket
•
is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it
with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber
sealing gasket back into the place.
High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short.
•
Ascertain whether the appliance door/doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn't kept
open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large
amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.
The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity is
•
above 65 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if possible remove the cause
of the humidity.
