Troubleshooting 

 

 

If the appliance has stopped functioning completely:

 

• Check the electrics in the location of the appliance.

 

• Check the plug has been correctly connected to the socket.

 

• Check the fuse in the plug.

 

• Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try the plug of your 

appliance by connecting it to a socket which you are sure is working. 

If your freezer does not get cold enough:

 

• Turn the Thermostat 

control further towards 5. 

• Are the doors of your 

freezer opened frequently and do they remain open 

for long periods of time? 

If so, reduce the frequency and length of time the 

doors are open for. 

• Ensure the door is fully shut and the seal is making complete contact to the 

cabinet. 

• 

Is you’re appliance over-filled

?

 

If the appliance is operating noisily:

 

Occasionally the compressor will make some noise. This is perfectly normal 

and is part of the cooling process. This noise should also diminish periodically. 

If the appliance is still noisy:

 

• Check the appliance is level. Use a spirit 

level if necessary. Adjust the feet at 

the front base of the appliance. 

• Check there is nothing behind the appliance.

 

• If there is a vibrating sound from the shelves or the items placed on the 

shelves, rearrange the items so that they are more secure. 

 

Compressor Noise:

 

• 

This is normal. This noise indicates that the compressor is operating normally. 

• As the compressor is being energized, it might run a bit more noisily for a 

short period of time.
