What Happens If Something Goes Wrong - Zanussi ZF 80/30 FF Instruction Booklet

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?
Before contacting your local Zanussi Service
Centre, check the following points:
The appliance does not work...
Check that:
s There is power at the socket.
m Ensure that there is not a power cut-by
checking the household lights.
s The fuse has not blown.
m The air circulation passages are not covered.
W The thermostat dial is in the correct position.
Vibration or abnormal noises...
= You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the
coils of tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator. When the compressor is on, the
refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will
hear a whirring or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a faint "click" when the thermostat
cuts in and out.
Traces of water on the bottom of the fridge compartment...
Check that:
= The defrosting water discharge hole is not
obstructed.
The light does not come on...
Check that:
m The bulb is fitted correctly.
m Replace the bulb if it has blown.
Fridge does not defrost...
Check that:
m The thermostat setting is not too high (see
page 9).
Other points to check...
Check that:
m Have you turned the thermostat to the correct
setting?
m Have doors been left open causing the
temperature to rise?
m Sometimes the freezer door will be difficult to
open shortly after you have closed it. Don't
worry this is due to pressure difference which
wil! quickly equalise and allow the door to open
normally.
