Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Noises coming from your
appliances are normal since
it has a number of fans
and engines to regulate
performances that switch on
and off automatically.
Some of the functional noises
can be reduced through:
- Levelling the appliance
and installing it on an even
surface.
- Separating and avoiding
contact between the
appliance and furniture.
- Checking if the internal
components are correctly
placed.
- Checking if bottles and
containers are not in
contact with each other.
Some of the functional noises you might hear:
A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first time or
after a long pause.
A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into the pipes.
Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start working.
A cracking sound when compressor starts or when ready ice drops
into ice box abrupt clicks when compressor switches on and off.
The appliance is not working:
• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage?
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical
system in your home?
If there is water in the defrost
pan:
• This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half full.
Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not overflow.
If the edges of the appliance
cabinet, which come in
contact with the door seal,
are warm to the touch:
• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.
If the light does not work:
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical
system in your home?
• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage?
• Has the light bulb burnt out?
If the motor seems to run too
much:
• Is the condenser (back the appliance) free of dust and fluff?
• Are the door properly closed?
• Are the door seals properly fitted?
• On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.
• If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large amounts
of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in order to cool
down the interior of the appliance.
• Motor running time depends on different things: number of door
openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of
the temperature controls.
