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 in
operating position).
Continuous Operation of the
Refrigerating 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).
• Continuous operation button activated (see
section Freezing of Food).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear
Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel
and through the opening 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 opening, for example with a
plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See
Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is
enabled by the refrigerating system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor the
noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard. This is a normal condition and it has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of
the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be
louder, which does not mean that something is
wrong with the appliance and it has no
influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is
heard, which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often a consequence of
inadequate placing.
− The appliance shall be placed and levelled
firmly on solid base.
− It should not touch the wall or kitchen units
standing next to it.
− Check the accesories in the interior of the
appliance, they should be placed correctly in
their positions; also check the bottles, tins
and other vessels that might touch each other
and rattle.
