Trouble Shooting / Basic Info

There are basic things you need to look and check before trying to initiate a technician call out for warranty circumstances.

Noise

If you unit has become noisy, please check the following;

• Can you ascertain exactly where the noise is coming from? It may be a loose screw or part of the fridge that is now vibrating and is easy to fix.
• Is the compressor / fridge level, a compressor not level will make a ‘clunking’ noise on start-up and shut down.
• Does the fan sound noisy? It may be as simple as needing slight adjustment.

Warranty: Contact 1300 170640 with Serial Number, purchase details and fridge model details for warranty queries. Hours 9:00am > 7:00pm Mon - Fri and 9:30am > 12:00pm Saturday.

Not Cooling

So all of a sudden unit has stopped cooling.

• Does the compressor run? Make sure compressor is running, if it is running and you have a warm fridge then there is a gas problem and technician will be needed.
• Check fan inside unit (if applicable). If fan inside unit is not working then air won't be being distributed evenly, a lot of areas will not be as cold as some, and rear plate may ice up.
• Have you got the thermostat set correct? Or has it been altered, remember the higher the number you set this on the colder the fridge will be.
• Is your door sealing properly, check all the way around door seal to make sure it is seating correct on fridge body, small gaps won't affect cooling.

Freezing Product.

• The units are not freezers but there is a possibility of freezing drinks, especially if unit is set on the highest setting of 5 or drinks are placed within 1cm of back cold-plate within the fridge.
• If you are experiencing rapid ice buildup on inside walls of unit the thermostat is likely to be faulty, technician is needed.

Maintenance

• Clean door seal every 6 months, use eucalyptus oil and a soft cloth
• Clean inside unit every 6 months as water parts and food can cause mold and bacteria may form
• Clean underneath unit periodically
