Before You Call For Service; Troubleshooting - Northland 15 Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Before You Call for Service

If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read
through this manual first. If the problem persists,
check the troubleshooting guide below. Locate the
problem in the guide and refer to the cause and
its remedy before calling for service. The problem
may be something very simple that can be solved
without a service call. However, it may be required
to contact your dealer or a qualified service tech-
nician.
WARNING
!
Electrocution Hazard
• Never attempt to repair or perform mainte-
nance on the appliance until the main electrical
power has been disconnected. Turning the
appliance control "OFF" does not remove
electrical power from the unit's wiring.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Possible Cause
• Control set too warm

bilized.

door openings.
• Airflow to front grille blocked.
• Door gasket not sealing properly.
• Control set too cold
• Door gasket not sealing properly.

CAUTION
!
In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit,
do not unplug the product from the electric
supply, but do call a qualified service technician
immediately. It is possible that the loss of cooling
capacity is a result of excessive frost build-up on
the evaporator cooling coil. In this case, removing
power to the unit will result in the melting of this
excessive quantity of ice, which could generate
melt water that exceeds the capacity of the defrost
drain system and could result in water damage to
your home. The end-user will be ultimately respon-
sible for any water damage caused by prematurely
turning the unit off without appropriately managing
the excess water run-off.
• Adjust temperature colder. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Allow temperature to stabilize for at
least 24 hours.
• Airflow must not be obstructed to front
grille. See "clearances" on page 4.
• Replace door gasket.
• Adjust temperature warmer. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Replace door gasket.
