Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some troubles that in most cases
result from improper handling of the appliance and can easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Mains
Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is
switched on (thermostat knob in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Cooling System
• The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be
polluted or damaged).
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and
condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the outlet to the
drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is
assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice
should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open.
Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost
layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close the
refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following:
− the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or
replace it if it is damaged);
− the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long;
− the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;
− the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over
the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged outlet, for example with a plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation on the Inner
Rear Wall".
