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.
