Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your fridge freezer appears not to be
operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic
Customer Care Department, please refer to the
checklist below.
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 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 up higher.
o
Ensure that the door is closing properly and that the door has
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.
o
The defrosting water caused by the frost free process can make
a noise.
o
The internal parts of the appliance can shrink and expand due to
temperature change, which may result in cracking sounds.
