Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some troubles that in most cases
result from improper handling of the appliance and can easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Mains
Supply
•
Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is
switched on (thermostat knob in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System
•
The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.
•
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be dirty
or damaged).
•
Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods.
•
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and
condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser).
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the refrigerating
system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is
depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
•
During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and
when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is
a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
•
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the
refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is
wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the
appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
•
Sometimes unusual and louder noise is heard, which is rather unusual
for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing.
−
The appliance should be placed and levelled firmly on a solid base.
−
It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.
−
Check the accessories in the interior of the appliance, they should be
placed correctly in their positions; also check the bottles, tins and other
items that might touch each other and rattle.
