Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips
over the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged outlet, for example with a plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See Ice Formation on the
Inner Rear Wall.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling
system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the
appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old
the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard
and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is
heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever
on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and
the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the
lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is heard, which is rather
unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of
inadequate placing.
− The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on solid base.
− It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.
− Check the accesories in the interior of the appliance, they should
be placed correctly in their positions; also check the bottles, tins
and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle.
