Check that the power plug fuse has not blown.
•
Is the temperature control on the front panel set to
the correct temperature?
•
Is the fridge/freezer in direct sunlight or located
near a heat source?

•
Was anything dropped behind or under the
appliance?
•
Is the noise from the compressor in the appliance?
•
A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside the
appliance, but this is normal. It is caused when
the various accessories contract or expand.
The front corners and sides of the fridge/freezer
are hot; condensation forms
•
Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners
of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
•
Condensation can occur when you leave the door
open for too long or you store food with a high
water content unwrapped in the refrigerator and
the temperature and humidity levels are high.
Ice is not dispensed
•
Did you stop the ice making function?
•
Is there any ice in the ice storage unit?
•
Is the water tap open and the water pipe
connected?
•
Is the freezer temperature too warm?
(Set it to a lower temperature.)
•
Did you wait for 12 hours after installation before
making ice?
You can hear water babbling in the refrigerator
• The babbling comes from the refrigerant
circulating in the fridge/freezer.
There is a bad smell in the fridge/freezer
• You did not wrap food with a strong smell or you
have forgotten something in the refrigerator.
• Wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight.
Throw away any food that has gone off.
Frost forms on the wall of the freezer
• Is the air inlet/outlet blocked?
• Allow sufficient space between the food items for
air to circulate efficiently.
• Is the door closed properly?
No water is dispensed
• Is the water tap open and the water pipe
connected?
• Is the water pipe blocked?
• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator
temperature is too low? Select a warmer setting
via the front control panel.
