Solution
Check that the appliance is switched on.
Check that there has not been a power cut.
Check that the plug is not faulty.
Check that the fuse has not blown.
Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance.
Are there any faults with the socket?
For this purpose, try the plug of your appliance by
connecting it to a socket which you are sure is working.
Check that there is not too much food in the appliance.
Check that the temperature is set to a suitable
temperature.
Check that the appliance is not placed in direct sunlight, or
too near to a heating source.
Check that the ambient temperature is within the operation
limits of the appliance.
Are the doors of the appliance opened frequently?
Once the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in
the room enters the appliance, especially if the humidity
levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the
door is opened in humid conditions the more chance of the
build up of moisture.
Increase the working temperature by adjusting the
temperature to a higher level.
The lowest setting/temperature should only be used as a
rapid cool setting and should only be set 2 hours before a
large amount of food is placed in the fridge.
If this is not done the temperature in the fridge
compartment could fall below 0°C as the compressor will
run continuously.
Caused by condensation-dry the inside of the appliance.
Caused by condensation-dry the outer of the appliance
carefully.
Check all the food and drink that is in the fridge is in
date and correctly packaged. If it is not then it should be
removed immediately or repackaged.
Check for spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer. You may
need to remove the drawers to check that no spillages have
settled underneath them. As spillages that have not been
cleaned and have been left can cause smells and unwanted
odours.
