PROBLEM WHAT 

TO 

DO 

CHECK THAT THE PLUG IS WELL-INSERTED INTO THE 
POWER SOCKET 

THAT THERE IS POWER FROM THE MAINS – THERE MAY BE

A BLACKOUT OR YOUR FUSES MAY HAVE BLOWN. 

THAT THE ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT (REGULATOR FOUND

ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE FRIDGE-FREEZER NEAR THE

TOP) IS IN THE RECOMMENDED FUNCTIONING POSITION 

 AND NOT ‘0’ (OFF). 
 

THAT THE SOCKET IS SUFFICIENT AND NO ADAPTER 

OR EXTENSION LEADS HAVE BEEN USED. 
 

 
 
 
 
YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER DOES NOT 
APPEAR TO BE WORKING / GREEN LAMP
IS OFF / FOOD HAS 
DEFROSTED WITHOUT YOUR 
KNOWLEDGE / NO APPARENT POWER 
 
 

THAT THE POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE CORRESPONDS 

TO THE APPLIANCE.  

 
YOU HAVE OVERLOADED THE APPLIANCE.  TAKE OUT 

AND CONSUME FOOD; LOOK FOR OUT-OF-DATE FOOD 

THAT CAN BE DISPOSED OF.   

THE THERMOSTAT SETTING IS SET TO ‘1’.  SET IT  

HIGHER.  

ENSURE THAT THE DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED PROPERLY.   

FOR INSTANCE, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM INSIDE THE 

 UNIT, KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN OR ANOTHER 
 FAULT, SUCH AS BROKEN OR MISSING 

DOOR SEAL. 
ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO DUST ON THE CONDENSER. 

YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER APPEARS TO BE
PERFORMING POORLY (RED LAMP IS 
ON)  

ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM AT THE REAR AND

 SIDES OF THE UNIT/ 

THERE IS A NOISE 

THE COOLING GAS WHICH CIRCULATES MAY MAKE 
A SLIGHT NOISE (BUBBLING SOUND) EVEN WHEN 

THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT RUNNING.  THIS IS 

NORMAL.  IF THESE SOUNDS CHANGE, ENSURE: 

YOUR UNIT IS WELL LEVELLED / 

NOTHING IS TOUCHING THE REAR OF THE UNIT / 
NO MATERIAL ON THE APPLIANCE IS VIBRATING. 

IMPORTANT

 –

 MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE AIR FLOW 

FOR YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER.  PARTICULAR AREAS TO WATCH  
INCLUDE THE SPACE BETWEEN THE FEET.  KEEPING THESE  
AREAS WITH ADEQUATE AIR-CIRCULATION WILL PREVENT YOUR 
FRIDGE FREEZER FROM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS.
