CHAPTER 7.
If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore to save
time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.
What to do if your appliance does not operate
Check that:
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on the «•» position,
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket which
you know is working.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The thermostat setting is on position "1" (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable
value).
• The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances)
During automatic defrosting.
When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.-
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises
from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling
level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically.
If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
If you hear any other noises check that:
- The appliance is level
- Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
- The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
