If your refrigerator is not working properly, there may be a minor problem. Check the
following.
The appliance does not operate
Check if:
• There is power
• The mains is connected
• The thermostat setting is on the “•” position
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same
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.
The appliance is noisy
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise
(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is normal. If
you hear a different sound, check whether:
• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs:
When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
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 splashing occurs:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes
of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs:
Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This
noise is normal during defrosting.
There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
