Troubleshooting
If your appliance is experiencing operating difficulties, check this list of problems
and solutions first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Appliance does not work at all
•
The power supply plug is not inserted in the wall socket or the plug and
outlet are loose.
•
Power may not be reaching the electric socket being used by the
refrigerator. This can be checked by plugging a light or any other electric
appliance into the socket.
•
The voltage is too low.
Appliance is running noisily
•
The appliance has not been properly leveled.
•
The refrigerator is in contact with the wall.
•
The shelves or other accessories in the refrigerator are in the wrong
position.
Appliance does not cool sufficiently or runs constantly
•
The door has been opened too often, or has been left open for a while.
•
There is not enough clearance around the refrigerator.
•
There is too much content in the refrigerator.
•
The temperature has not been set properly.
Ice forms on the inner rear wall
•
The door gasket needs to be cleaned or replaced.
•
The door has been opened too often, or has been left open for a while.
As long as defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the drain
pan on the compressor, the appliance will defrost automatically. If ice formation
builds up to a thickness of 1/8”, the unit should be manually defrosted:
Set the thermostat to the “
0
” (OFF) position and leave the door open. Never use
electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp
objects. When defrosting is complete, turn the knob to the desired position and
close the refrigerator door.
Water is leaking from the refrigerator
If the discharge water outlet is clogged, the defrost water drips over the channel
and water leaks from the refrigerator. Just clean the clogged opening with a pipe
cleaner or plastic straw. Manually defrost the increased ice layer.
