What Happens If Something Goes Wrong - Tricity Bendix FD 852 Operating And Installation Instructions

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?

Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service
Centre, check the following points:
The appliance does not work...
Check that:
There is power at the socket.
Ensure that there is not a power cut by checking
the household lights.
The fuse has not blown.
The air circulation passages are not covered.
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 pul-
sating 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 com-
partment...
Check that:
The defrosting water discharge hole is not obstruct-
ed.
The light does not come on...
Check that:
The bulb is fitted correctly.
Replace the bulb if it has blown.
Fridge does not defrost...
Check that:
The thermostat setting is not too high (see page 9).
Other points to check...
Check that:
Have you turned the thermostat to the correct set-
ting?
Have doors been left open causing the temperature
to rise?
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 will quickly equal-
ise and allow the door to open normally.

If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your
local Tricity Bendix Service Centre. Please make sure
you give the model and serial number of the appli-
ance. This information can be found on the rating
plate inside the fridge compartment on the left side
behind the vegetable drawer, or on the guarantee cer-
tificate.
Original spare parts can be purchased from Tricity
Bendix Service Centres.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the
above checks have been made as the engineer will
make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or
electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for
any in-guarantee service calls.
