Care & Maintenance

Problem

Solution

If the temperature 
in the refrigerator 
is too warm

• Check that the refrigerator has enough clearance at the sides, back and top. 
Refer to the installation Instructions at the front of this booklet.

• refer to “CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE”.

• you may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.

• food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.

If the temperature 
in the refrigerator 
is too cold

• refer to “CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE”.

• increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.

If the doors will 
not close

• check whether the top of the refrigerator is tilted back 10-15mm to allow the 
doors to self close.

• check whether something is holding the door open.

It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and re-close, when the food 
compartment  door  is  being  closed.  If  the  freezer  stays  open  it  indicates  that  the 
refrigerator cabinet needs to be tilted backwards a little further. If you call a service 
person to solve this problem you will be charged for the cost of the service call, as 
this is not a warranty fault.

If heavy frosting 
occurs in the 
freezer

Make sure you fully close the freezer and fresh food doors after you load or remove 
food from these compartments. If the doors are left partly open a heavy frost will coat 
the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take care to properly close the 
doors and the frost will not reoccur.

If water drips on 
the floor.

The defrost water tray, (located on the compressor at the back of the cabinet), may 
not be properly positioned. Otherwise, the drain tube may not be properly positioned 
to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall 
to check the tray and tube.

If you still require service

If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest 
Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, which is stated on 
the label on the refrigerator section inner plastic compartment liner wall.
