TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLUTION
It is normal to frequently hear the sound of the motor. However, to keep
operation to a minimum check the following:
• Are doors kept open too long or too often?
• Are controls set too cold? See 'Controls' on page 12.
• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer,
festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your
refrigerator.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to
run more than normal.
• The refrigerator will run more that normal just after you install it or when
it has been turned off for a long time.
• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and
top. Refer to the installation instructions on page 8.
• Refer to 'Controls' on page 12.
• You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
• Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.
• Refer to 'Controls' on page 12.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
The defrost water tray, (located at the back or underneath of the cabinet)
may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube may not be properly
positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the
refrigerator away from the wall to check the tray and tube.
A freezer will normally build up ice in several places and will not affect the
correct operation of the freezer. Over time when this build up becomes
inconvenient, it is necessary to manually defrost product by switching the
product off, removing any food and cleaning the product as described
under "DEFROSTING" on page 12.
The rear of the inside liner may, at times, appear frosty and wet. This is
normal for refrigerators of this type and demonstrates that the product is
functioning correctly, please refer to information on page 10.
