Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance ( see Assistance ), check for a solution from the following list.
Malfunctions:
The internal light does not
illuminate.
The refrigerator and the freezer do
not cool well.
The food inside the refrigerator is
beginning to freeze.
The motor runs continuously.
The appliance makes a lot of noise.
Some of the external parts of the
refrigerator become hot.
The back wall of the refrigerator unit
is covered in frost or droplets of
water.
There is water at the bottom of the
refrigerator.
Icing water at rear of the Fridge
Excess moisture / Ice at rear of the
Fridge
Warm Fridge
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough
to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The doors are opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
• The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is
lower than 14°C.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.
• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.
• The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm ( see Maintenance ).
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface ( see Installation ) .
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make
noise.
• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is
off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
• These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation of
condensation on certain parts of the product.
• This shows the appliance is operating normally.
• The water discharge hole is blocked ( see Maintenance ).
• Make sure that the "Fast Freeze switch" (see pag 16 for details) is NOT in
the 'ON' position, this will cause 100% run. If switch is not in ON position
and severe icing persists, set temperature regulating knob (see pag 14 for
details) to lower position.
• Excess moisture / Ice will occur if the Larder door is opened for prolonged
periods. This will disappear once the door is closed and the Larder allowed
to defrost and drain the moisture away. This is normal for cooling function
of the Larder compartment, especially in summer period.
• If room temperature is 16 C or lower, (for example the product is located in
a garage or out building), for the refrigerator to operate correctly the "Fast
Freeze switch" must be in the 'ON' position (see pag 16 for details)
