TROUBLESHOOTING
During the operation of your appliance, you can come across some problems
often resulting from improper handling that can easily be eliminated.
Appliance fails to operate after connecting to the power supply
Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is
switched on (thermostat in the operating position).
Compressor operates continuously
The door was frequently opened or it was left open too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be dirty
or damaged).
The appliance has been overloaded with fresh foods.
Inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Be sure there
is adequate air circulation around the unit. Wipe off the condenser).
Ice forms 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. When the ice formation on the inner back wall increases to a
thickness of 1/8”, the ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and leave the door open.
Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost
layer with sharp objects. When defrosting is complete, turn the knob to the
desired position and close the freezer 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 dirty, or replace it if
it is damaged).
The door was frequently opened or it was left open for too long.
The food stored in the refrigerator was warm.
The food or a container is touching the inner back wall.
Water is leaking from the freezer
In case the discharged water outlet is clogged or the defrost water drips over
the channel or water leaks from the freezer, just clean the clogged opening
with a plastic straw. Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See the
preceding section, “Ice forms on the inner rear wall”.
Noise
Cooling in freezing appliances is enabled by the compressor, which produces
noise when operating. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is
placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
