Solution
9.1.1.1
This is normal for a refrigerator that goes into
deep freeze automatically. The period of deep
freeze cooling lasts about 30 minutes.
9.1.2.1
Make sure the plug is inserted all the way into
the power outlet.
9.1.2.2
Has the circuit breaker tripped? Check and
change to a new 13 A fuse and/or reset the
circuit breaker.
9.1.2.3
Check the electrical supply to the room. Call the
local electricity company.
9.2.1.1
It is normal for the fridge to operate
continuously.
9.2.2.1
This is normal – the ice maker adds extra work
load in the refrigerator.

openings.
9.2.4.1
Raise up the compartment temperatures slightly
and allow 24 hours to reach new balance.

Clean off the gaskets and/or heat slightly with
hair dryer so gasket takes contour of metal
frame.

provide the required cooling level.
