If there is noise ;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise(bubbling sound)
even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these sounds are
different check that ;
• The appliance is well levelled ,
• Nothing is touching the rear ,
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
• Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances)
• During automatic defrosting. When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of
appliance material).
• Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.-
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
• To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your
fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached,
noises will be decreased automatically.
If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
If you hear any other noises check that:
• The appliance is level
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
Water flow noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances) Normal flow noise of water flowing to the
evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blow Noise: If the appliance has fan in freezer/cooler /bottom cabinet compartments.
• This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator:
Check that:
• The drain hole for the defrost water is not clogged (use thedefrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appliance
in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or icing
may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specified
intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is
excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat to "•"
position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest
authorised service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable for
commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply
with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair
and failure within the guarantee period.
