Trouble Shooting
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the Fridge/Freezer compartment is -18
or less when the power returns,
your food is safe. The food in your Fridge/Freezer will remain frozen for approx 16 hours with the door
closed. Do not open the Fridge/Freezer door more than necessary.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum setting and wait a
few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the local store where your purchase
was made.
The Fridge/Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. The Fridge/Freezer should be
placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient temperature of between 16 and 32 . Leave the
Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge/Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If the problem
continues contact the local store where your purchase was made.
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become
more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the
performance of your Fridge/Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
