BEFORE CALLING SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not operating as expected, check the solutions listed below before calling
an electrician or the after sales service.
What to do if your refrigerator does not operate:
Check that:
• Your fridge is plugged in and switched on,
• The fuse is not blown and there is not a power cut,
• The thermostat setting is in the on « • » position,
• The socket is no longer functioning. To check this, plug in an appliance that you know
is working into the same socket.
What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly:
Check that:
• You have not overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are fully closed,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space for air circulation at the rear and side of the appliance.
If the appliance is making a noise:
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. This is normal. If these sounds are different
check that:
• The appliance is level,
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance,
• Items on or in the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator:
Check that:
The drain hole for the defrost water is not clogged (use thedefrost drain plug to clean the
drain hole).
Important Notes:
• In the event of a power cut, to prevent any damage to the compressor we recommend
that you unplug the refrigerator. Delay plugging it back in for 5 – 10 minutes after the
power supply returns.
• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during holidays), unplug it. Clean
your fridge according to Chapter 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and
smell.
