If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you
can carry out some easy checks before calling for service. You
may locate the problem, sparing yourself any inconvenience and
saving time and money.

When your appliance • Check that the power cord is plugged
is not operating into the power outlet properly and that the
outlet is switched 'ON'.
• Try running another appliance from the
power outlet. If no power is coming from
the outlet you may have blown a fuse
or tripped a circuit of your household
power supply.
• Try adjusting the temperature control to
a slightly "colder" position.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to
operate during the automatic defrost
cycle, or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
When there is Modern refrigerators/freezers with
refrigerator/freezer increased storage capacity use high
speed compressors. These can provide a
noise
seemingly high level of sound which is quite
normal. Normal operational sounds include:
• Occasional gurgling, similar to water
boiling.
• Air flow noise (air circulates because of a
small fan).
• A popping noise heard during automatic
defrost.
• A clicking noise heard just before
the compressor starts (this is merely
the automatic switching action of
the temperature control, turning the
compressor on or off).
Other strange sounds may mean that
you need to check and take action.
For example, noises may mean that:
• The cabinet is not level.
• The floor is uneven or weak.
• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• There are vibrations from an object on top
of or behind or beside the refrigerator.
• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is
touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to
seem louder just after the refrigerator starts
operating.
If there are odours • The interior may need cleaning.
inside the appliance
• Some foods produce odours.
• Some containers and wrapping can
cause odours.
• Ask yourself if the odour started about
the same time you started storing
something unusual.
