If your fridge is not operating:
• Is there an electrical fault?
• Is your appliance plugged in?
• Is the fuse of the socket or the main fuse blown?
• Is there a fault with the socket? Examine this by plugging your fridge into a socket which
you are sure is working.
If your fridge is operating too loudly:
Normal noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor
operates normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is
activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing: This noise is caused by the ow of refrigerant in the
tubes of the system.
Water ow noise: Normal noise of water owing into the evaporation container during
defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in a No-Frost fridge during
normal operation of the system, due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of fridge cabinet that touch the door joint are warm:
In hot weather, the surfaces of the joint contact may get warmer during operation of the
compressor. This is normal.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge:
• Is the food packed properly? Are the containers dry before being placed in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
If the doors do not open and close properly:
• Do the food packages prevent the door from closing?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers located properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
