Baumatic Br180ss Instruction Manual

							Troubleshooting 
 
IMPORTANT: If your fridge freezer appears not to be 
operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic 
Customer Care Department, please refer to the 
checklist below.
 
 
My fridge freezer does not appear to be working/there 
is no power to my appliance. 
 
  o Check that the plug is fully in serted into the power socket. 
 
o  Check that there is power to yo ur mains supply (e.g. that there 
hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown). 
 
o  Check that the thermostat dial  has not been turned to the off 
position (). 
 
o  Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the 
voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance. 
   
My fridge freezer appears to be performing poorly. 
 
 
o  Check that the appliance isn’t ov erloaded and that food hasn’t 
been packed too tightly into it. 
 
o  The thermostat setting is t oo low; you should turn the 
thermostat dial to a higher number. 
 
o  Ensure that the doors are closin g properly and that the doors 
have not been opened for a  prolonged period in error. 
 
o  Ensure that there is adequate  ventilation for your appliance. 
   
My fridge freezer is noisy.  
 
 
o  The refrigerant gas that circulat es the pipework of the appliance 
may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running. 
 
o  If the noise worsens or the app liance gets louder than normal; 
check that it is levelled off correct ly, that nothing is touching the 
rear of the fridge freezer and  that nothing placed inside the 
appliance is rattling.

Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my fridge. 
 
  o Check that food has not been pu shed too far back inside the 
appliance, so that it is in contact with the inner back wall.  
  o IMPORTANT:  It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on 
the back wall of the appliance. Th e formation of ice droplets does 
not indicate an appliance fault. 
         
 
There is water in the base of  the fridge or leaking out 
of my fridge. 
 
  o Follow the “The defrost drai n hole” section on page 20.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE 
YOURSELF.

under guarantee and finds that the  problem is not the result of an 
appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out 
charge. 
 
The appliance must be accessible  for the engineer to perform 
any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a 
way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused 
to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a 
repair.  
 
This includes situations where  appliances have been tiled in, 
sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in 
front of the appliance, like plin ths. Or any installation other 
than the one specified by Baumat ic Ltd. has been completed. 
 
Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on the
