Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance 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 first activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes
of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This
noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During normal operation of the system due to the circulation
of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each
time the doors are opened. 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 Models).
The doors are not opening or closing properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
• The door gaskets are broken or torn
• Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather), 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 cooling 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 during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent
the formation of mildew and odour.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
