TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Noises coming from your
appliances are normal since
it has a number of fans
and engines to regulate
performances that switch on
and off automatically.
Some of the functional
noises can be reduced
through
- Levellingtheappliance
andinstallingitonaneven
surface
- Separatingandavoiding
contactbetweenthe
applianceandfurniture.
- Checkingiftheinternal
componentsarecorrectly
placed.
- Checkingifbottlesand
containersarenotin
contactwitheachother.
Some of the functional noises you might hear:
A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first
time or after a long pause.
A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into the pipes.
Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start working.
A cracking sound when compressor starts or when ready ice
drops into ice box abrupt clicks when compressor switches on
and off.
The appliance is not
working:
• Isthepowercablepluggedintoalivesocketwiththeproper
voltage?
• Haveyoucheckedtheprotectiondevicesandfusesoftheelectrical
systeminyourhome?
If there is water in the
defrost pan:
• Thisisnormalinhot,dampweather.Thepancanevenbehalffull.
Makesuretheapplianceislevelsothatthewaterdoesnotoverflow.
If the edges of the appliance
cabinet, which come in
contact with the door seal,
are warm to the touch:
• Thisisnormalinhotweatherandwhenthecompressorisrunning.
If the light does not work: • Haveyoucheckedtheprotectiondevicesandfusesoftheelectrical
systeminyourhome?
• Isthepowercablepluggedintoalivesocketwiththeproper
voltage?
• Hasthelightbulbburntout?
If the motor seems to run
too much:
• Isthecondenser(backtheappliance)freeofdustandfluff?
• Arethedoorproperlyclosed?
• Arethedoorsealsproperlyfitted?
• Onhotdaysoriftheroomiswarm,themotornaturallyrunslonger.
