Troubleshooting

CHECK THAT THE PLUG IS WELL-INSERTED INTO THE
POWER SOCKET
THAT THERE IS POWER FROM THE MAINS – THERE MAY BE
A BLACKOUT OR YOUR FUSES MAY HAVE BLOWN.
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).
THAT THE SOCKET IS SUFFICIENT AND NO ADAPTER
OR EXTENSION LEADS HAVE BEEN USED.
THAT THE POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE CORRESPONDS
TO THE APPLIANCE.
YOU HAVE OVERLOADED THE APPLIANCE. TAKE OUT
AND CONSUME FOOD; LOOK FOR OUT-OF-DATE FOOD
THAT CAN BE DISPOSED OF.
THE THERMOSTAT SETTING IS SET TO '1'. 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 BROKEN OR MISSING
DOOR SEAL.
ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO DUST ON THE CONDENSER.
ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM AT THE REAR AND
SIDES OF THE UNIT/
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.

MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE AIR FLOW
