CHAPTER 6. BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly it may be a minor problem, therefore in order to save time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.

What to do if your refrigerator does not operate:

Check that:

There is no power,

The general switch in your home is not disconnected,

The thermostat setting is on the « • » position,

The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly

Check that:

• You have not overloaded the appliance,
  • The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.

If there is noise:

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If you hear any different noises, check that;

• The appliance is level,
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance,
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator

Check that:

The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain

hole).

If your fridge is not cooling sufficiently enough:

Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the fridge.

Recommendations

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the « cooling section » of refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. If this wall is covered with frost or water drops when the compressor is running, do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (for example during the summer holidays), set the thermostat knob to the « • » position. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smells.

Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
