Troubleshooting 

 

IMPORTANT: If your fridge freezer appears not to be 
operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic 
Service Department, please refer to the checklist 
below.

 

 

 

28

My fridge freezer does not appear to be working/there 
is no power to my appliance. 
 

 

o

 

Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket. 

 

o

 

Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there 
hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown). 

 

o

 

Check that the thermostat dial has not been turned to the off 
position. 

 

o

 

Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the 
voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance. 

 

 
My fridge freezer appears to be performing poorly 
 
 

o

 

Check that the appliance isn’t overloaded and that food hasn’t 
been packed too tightly into it. 

 

o

 

The thermostat setting is too low; you should turn the 
thermostat dial to a higher number. 

 

o

 

Ensure that the doors are closing properly and that the doors 
have not been opened for a prolonged period in error. 

 

o

 

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your appliance. 

 

 
My fridge freezer is noisy 
 
 

o

 

The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance 
may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running. 

 

o

 

If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder than normal; 
check that it is levelled off correctly, that nothing is touching the 
rear of the fridge freezer and that nothing placed inside the 
appliance is rattling.
