CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
Your fridge is not operating
Check if:
•
There is power
•
The plug is correctly connected to the socket
•
The plug or mains fuse has blown
•
The socket is faulty. Examine this by plugging your fridge into a working socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if:
•
The appliance is overloaded
•
The doors are closed properly
•
There is any dust on the condenser
•
There is enough space near the rear and side walls.
Your fridge is operating noisily
Motor noise:
Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short
time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Air blowing noise:
Indicates normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the cooler
Check if:
•
All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
•
The fridge door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the fridge when the doors are opened.
Humidity increases faster when the doors are opened more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room
is high.
The door is not opening and closing properly
Check if:
•
There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
•
The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
•
The door joints are broken or torn
•
Your fridge is level.
Recommendations
•
In instances of a power cut unplug the appliance. This prevents damage to the compressor. You should delay
plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you regain power supply. This will avoid damage to components.
•
The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the
rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There
is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
