Troubleshooting
Before you call for service, please check the following steps:
The refrigerator does not operate.
- Check that the plug and its socket are in good condition.
- Check if there is any problem on the main fuse and electrical system of the house.
- Unplug the unit and wait for 7 minutes before plugging it back in.
The refrigerator does not cool enough.
- Check that the lights on the Operation Panel are displayed at the proper position.
- Check to see if the refrigerator is overloaded with stuff or if there is any hot foodstuff refrigerated inside.
- Is the refrigerator exposed directly to sunlight or heat source?
- Is the refrigerator door completely closed?
- Is the refrigerator door opened frequently?
Outside
- When the air humidity is high, there is a chance that moisture will condense on the refrigerator surface, around the door gasket or on the door surface. This situation will stop if the air humidity decreases. Please wipe it up with a dry cloth.
Dew, frost appears.
Inside
• Is the door closed firmly? - Is the door being opened and closed too frequently? - Condensation inside the refrigerator can also be caused by leaving high-humidity foods uncovered or unwrapped. - When the humidity is high, the door is open for a long time, or when the refrigerator contains too much food or makes too much ice, frost may form inside the Freezer compartment at the location of the Freezer compartment case, Ice box or the Prime Freeze case door. This is normal. Please wipe with a dry and soft cloth.
The refrigerator generates noise.
- Check if the refrigerator is located on a stable floor or is installed properly.
- Check if there is any object in contact with the refrigerator.
- Cracking sound within caused by the parts adjusting temperature which is normal.
- After installation, the refrigerator may make loud noise. The noise will be less when the refrigerator has been cooled.
The inside is smelling.
- Do you store food with dry odor without wrapping it?
Light does not turn on.
- Please contact Panasonic service center.
Troubleshooting
The back and sides of the refrigerator are warm and hot.
- Because the refrigerator is equipped with dew prevention and heat radiation tubes, the back and sides of the refrigerator get warmer when operating.
- The back and side plates may get warmer especially when starting up or if the door is frequently opened and closed.
The normal sounds of the refrigerator.
- When the refrigerator starts operation, a sound like water flowing and boiling water is created. This is the sound of the cooling liquid.
- The noise is generated when the automatic defrost system operates.
- The dilatation of the details inside the refrigerator in the cooling process can cause a sound "crack-crack".
- You may feel that the operation sound is larger because the compressor operates at high speed under the following conditions: the refrigerator does not cool fully on occasions such as using it for the first time, opening/closing the door too frequently, or when the surrounding temperature is high. The sound becomes quieter after cooling fully.
The Operation Panel flashes.
- Are you adjusting the temperature of your refrigerator? → It flashes during adjustment. Please complete the setting and the Operation Panel will stop flashing after 5 seconds.
Food becomes frozen.
- Do you put the food near cold air holes?
- Do you adjust the temperature control to less than 4 °C for the Fridge compartment and/or -3 °C for the Prime Fresh case? → Adjust to a higher temperature.
- Do you put food in the Prime Fresh case?
Error display on Operation Panel.
- The letter "H" and two digits are displayed on Operation Panel. For example: H01
→ Please contact the Panasonic service center for support.
• U10: Warning if doors are opened too long. → Check that the doors are closed properly.
- U83: The refrigerator does not connect to the wireless LAN router. Check the following:
