Before calling after-sales service
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard du-
ring normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or
warmed (due to expansion of ap-
pliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the
thermostat switches the compressor on/
off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor
is operating normally. The compressor
may cause more noise for a short time
when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs:
Due to the ow of the refrigerant in the
tubes of the system.
Water owing noise occurs: Due
to water owing to the evaporation
container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During nor-
mal operation of the system due to the
circulation of air. There is a build-up of
humidity inside the refrigerator.
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Con-
tainers must be dry before being
placed in the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator doors are opened
frequently.
Humidity of the room will enter the
fridge each time the doors are ope-
ned.
Humidity increases faster if the doors
are opened frequently, especially if
the humidity of the room is high.
• There is a build-up of water droplets
on the rear wall. This is normal after
automatic defrosting (in Static Mo-
dels).
The doors are not opening or closing
properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preven-
ting the door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and
drawers are placed properly
• The door gaskets are broken or torn
• Your appliance is level.
The edges of the appliance in contact
with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm we-
ather), the surfaces in contact with the
door joint may become warmer during
operation of the compressor. This is
normal.
Important Notes:
• In the case of a power failure, or
if the appliance is unplugged and
plugged in again, the gas in the co-
oling system of your refrigerator will
destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open.
Your refrigerator will start to operate
normally after 5 minutes.
• If the appliance will not be used for
a long period of time (such as du-
ring holidays), disconnect the plug.
Defrost and clean the refrigerator,
leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
