Trace a problem using the table below instead of having to call for help.  
 
PROBLEM WHAT TO DO   
CHECK THAT THE PLUG IS WELL-INSERTED INTO THE 
POWER SOCKET 
 
  
CHECK THAT THERE IS POWER FROM THE MAINS – 
THERE MAY BE A BLACKOUT OR YOUR FUSES MAY HAVE 
BLOWN. 
 
  
CHECK THAT THE ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT (REGULATOR 
FOUND ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE FRIDGE-FREEZER 
NEAR THE TOP) IS IN THE RECOMMENDED FUNCTIONING 
POSITION AND NOT ‘0’ (OFF). 
 
  
CHECK THAT THE SOCKET IS SUFFICIENT AND NO 
ADAPTER OR EXTENSION LEADS HAVE BEEN USED. 
 
 
 
 
 
YOUR FRIDGE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE 
WORKING / NO APPARENT POWER 
 
 
  
CHECK THAT THE POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE 
CORRESPONDS TO THE APPLIANCE.  
 
 
YOU HAVE OVERLOADED THE APPLIANCE OR FOOD HAS 
BEEN PACKED TOO TIGHTLY.  TAKE OUT 
AND CONSUME FOOD; LOOK FOR OUT-OF-DATE FOOD 
THAT CAN BE DISPOSED OF.   
 
 
THE THERMOSTAT SETTING IS SET TOO LOW.  SET IT  
HIGHER.  
 
ENSURE THAT THE DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED PROPERLY.   
FOR INSTANCE, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM INSIDE THE 
 UNIT, KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN OR ANOTHER 
 FAULT, SUCH AS A BROKEN OR MISSING 
DOOR SEAL. 
 
ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO DUST ON THE CONDENSER. 
YOUR FRIDGE APPEARS TO BE 
PERFORMING POORLY  
ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM AT THE REAR AND
 SIDES OF THE UNIT. 
THERE IS A NOISE 
 
THE COOLING GAS WHICH CIRCULATES MAY MAKE 
A SLIGHT NOISE (BUBBLING SOUND) EVEN WHEN 
THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT RUNNING.  THIS IS 
NORMAL.  IF THESE SOUNDS CHANGE, ENSURE: 
 
 
YOUR UNIT IS WELL LEVELLED / 
NOTHING IS TOUCHING THE REAR OF THE UNIT / 
NO MATERIAL ON THE APPLIANCE IS VIBRATING. 
 
NOTE:  A SOUND LIKE FLOWING WATER IS PERFECTLY  
NATURAL AS IT INDICATES THAT THE REFRIGERANT IS 
Troubleshooting

FLOWING.  THIS IS NOT A MALFUNCTION. 
 
PROBLEM WHAT TO DO   
ICE FORMATION ON THE INNER REAR 
WALL IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ICE DOES FORM ON 
THE INNER BACK WALL, IT SHOULD BE MANUALLY 
REMOVED WHEN IT REACHES 3-5MM THICK, USING 
A PLASTIC SCRAPER.  MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE 
THERMOSTAT DOWN TO ‘OFF’ OR ‘0’ FIRST. 
 
NEVER USE ELECTRIC DEVICES FOR DEFROSTING 
OR DEFROSTING SPRAYS. 
WATER IS LEAKING FROM THE 
REFRIGERATOR IN CASE THE DISCHARGE WATER OUTLET BECOMES 
CLOGGED, OR THE DEFROSTED WATER DRIPS OVER 
THE CHANNEL, WATER WILL LEAK FROM THE 
FRIDGE. 
 
TO REMEDY THIS: 
 
CLEAN THE CLOGGED OUTLET WITH A PLASTIC 
STRAW. 
 
MANUALLY DEFROST THE INCREASED ICE LAYER 
INSIDE THE APPLIANCE.   
 
 
ADDITIONAL NOTE:  SHOULD THE CABINET’S SIDE PANEL HEAT UP, THIS IS NORMAL.   IT WILL
DO THIS IN SUMMER WITH A HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OR IF THE DOOR HAS BEEN  
OPENED AND CLOSED FREQUENTLY.  IT IS THE RESULT OF HEAT’S DISSIPATING FROM INSIDE 
THE CABINET AND IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR REFRIGERATOR IN ANY WAY.
