Something Not Working - Electrolux ER 3825 B Instruction Book

SOMETHING NOT WORKING

If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before calling out an engineer .
Symptom
No power to the appliance
The light does not come on
The temperature in the fridge or freezer section is
too high
The freezer door will not open
The compressor runs continously
Excessive frost and ice has built up
Noise
Water under the salad bin
Low room temperature operation
During prolonged periods of low room temperatures,ie;10°C and lower, the compressor on single compressor
fridge freezers can remain inoperative during this time .
This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not
calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
During a normal night time period of approximately 8 hours a traditional fridge freezer can normally maintain the
frozen food temperature but if the appliance is left for longer periods in a low ambient temperature the freezer
will defrost .
