Trouble-Shooting Guide
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).
• Appliance overloaded with fresh foods.
• Inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (check
adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser).
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.
If the ice on the inner back wall is thicker (3-5 mm), the refrigerator
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
If 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".
