Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some

troubles that in most cases result from

improper handling of the appliance and can

easy be eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After

connecting to the Mains Supply

• Check the supply in the outlet socket and

make sure the appliance is switched on

(thermostat in operating position).

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating

System

• the door was frequently opened or it was left

opened for too long;

• the door is not properly closed (the door may

sag, the gasket may be polluted or

damaged);

• perhaps you have overloaded the appliance

with fresh foods;

• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of

the compressor and condenser (assure

adequate air circulation and wipe off the

condenser);

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the

channel and through the opening to the drain

pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of

the appliance is assured. In case the ice

formation on the inner back wall is increased

(3-5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP position and

leave the door open. Never use electric

devices for defrosting and do not scrape the

ice or frost layer with sharp objects.

After completed defrosting, turn the knob to

desired position and close the refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be

one of the following:

− the door does not seal well (clean the

gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it

if it is damaged);

− the door was frequently opened or it

was left opened for too long;

− the food stored in the refrigerator was

warm;

− the food or dish is touching the inner

back wall.

Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator

In case the discharge water outlet is clogged,

or the defrost water drips over the channel,

water leaks from the refrigerator.

• Clean the clogged opening, for example with

a plastic straw.

• Manually defrost the increased ice layer.

See Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall.

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is

enabled by the refrigerating system with

compressor, which produces noise. How noisy

the appliance is depends on where it is placed,

how it is used and how old the appliance is.

• During the operation of the compressor the

noise of liquid is heard and when the

compressor is not operating, the refrigerant

flow is heard. This is a normal condition and

it has no influence whatsoever on the

lifetime of the appliance.

• After starting the appliance, the operation

of the compressor and the refrigerant flow

may be louder, which does not mean that

something is wrong with the appliance and it

has no influence on the lifetime of the

appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.

• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is

heard, which is rather unusual for the

appliance. This noise is often a

consequence of inadequate placing.

− The appliance shall be placed and

levelled firmly on solid base.

− It should not touch the wall or kitchen

units standing next to it.

− Check the accesories in the interior of

the appliance, they should be placed

correctly in their positions; also check

the bottles, tins and other vessels that

might touch each other and rattle.

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the

appliance form the power supply.

Insert the screw driver into the bulb cover

opening on the lower side and with slight push

downward remove the cover. Replace the old

bulb with a new one – halogenous or standard

(E 14, max. 25 W - Osram Halolux, Philips

H.E.) and fit back the cover.

Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to

organic waste.
