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AND CONSUME FOOD; LOOK FOR OUT-OF-DATE FOOD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