Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible cause

The fridge does not operate.

•  It is not plugged in. Ensure it is properly plugged in and 

there is power at the socket (plug another appliance into 

the outlet to check).

• The circuit breaker tripped or has blown a fuse.
• The fridge temperature control is set to OFF.
• A general power outage has cut power to your home 

(check the household lights).

The fridge temperature is not 

cool enough.

• The room temperature is hotter than normal.
•  A large amount of food has been added at once.
• The door is opened too often.
• The door is not closed completely.
• The temperature control is not set correctly.
• The door gasket does not seal properly.

There are vibrations.

• The fridge is not level.

The fridge seems to make too 

much noise.

• A rattling noise may come from the flow of the 

refrigerant, which is normal. A popping and crackling 

noise may be caused by the contraction and expansion 

of the inside walls.

• The fridge is not level, or is touching other furniture.
• Bottles or packages inside the fridge are touching each 

other.

The door will not close 

properly.

• The fridge is not level.
• The door was reversed and is not properly installed.
• The gasket is dirty or bent.
•  The shelves, racks or crisper are out of position.

The fridge door will not open. • If the door has just been opened, leave it for a few 

minutes to allow the air pressure to equalise before 

trying again.

Moisture forms on the inside 

or outside walls of the bar 

fridge.

• Hot and humid weather increases the internal rate of 

frost build-up. This is normal.

• Open the door less often and make sure it is always 

properly closed.
