Troubleshooting

The appliance fails to work when first connected

to the electricity supply.

Check there are no faults with the socket you are using

by plugging in an appliance you know to be working.

Make sure that you have switched the appliance ‘on’.

The voltage may be incorrect.

The appliance seems to be continually running.

The appliance will make a sound when first started; this

will gradually fade over a period of time.

The door has been opened frequently.

The door isn’t properly closed because the seals need

cleaning, or are damaged.

The door is damaged – leading to it dropping out of

correct alignment with the appliance.

The appliance has recently been filled with more food

than usual.

Ventilation is compromised – the vent requires cleaning

or clearing from obstruction.

There is inadequate ventilation around the appliance

– other appliances or units are too close. The appliance

has been overloaded with food for chilling or freezing.

The ‘Quick Freeze’ function has been switched on.

The outer casing of the appliance is warm

The appliance may become warm on the outside when

first switched on to prevent condensation forming.

The lamp does not work

The appliance is not plugged into the wall socket / a

fuse has blown.

The bulb requires replacing.

The temperature inside the appliance is not right

The door has not been closed properly.

The appliance is too close to a heat source, or in direct

sunlight.

The vents at the rear are blocked / obstructed.

The appliance is making noises

The appliance is cooled by the compressor, which will

make a certain amount of noise when the appliance is

switched on. The amount of noise depends on the age

of the appliance (older appliances may become noisier),

the positioning of the appliance (a levelled appliance is

less noisy) and how the appliance is used.

During use, you may hear the sound of the refrigerant

being circulated, and the sound of it flowing when

the compressor is off. The sound of the compressor

itself, which is a humming sound and a click when the

compressor switches off and on.

When you are starting the appliance for the first time,

or have had the appliance switched off for a prolonged

length of time, the sounds described above may be

louder.

You may hear hissing or gurgling noises from the

appliance – these are due to the automatic defrosting

process.

Piping and the evaporator may also make noises should

the ambient temperature around the appliance change.

If noises seem to be too loud, or a little unusual it

is more than likely because the appliance requires

levelling, or it is touching a unit.
