TROUBLESHOOTING
Appliance does not operate at desired temperature
In a modern frost free refrigerator / freezer, cold air is circulated around the various compartments through air vents
using a high efficiency fan.
CONCERN
Refrigerator is too warm
WHAT TO DO
Adjust the refrigerator to a colder setting
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on P6.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Freezer is too warm
Food is freezing in the refrigerator
Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on P6.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high
water content should not be placed near the cooling vents.
Unable to change temperature settings Refer to sections “temperature control” and “about the user interface”.
Ensure that user interface is in "awake" mode before trying to adjust
temperature settings.
Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you
might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
WHAT TO DO
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a high-speed
compressor which switches on and off during operation.
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.
CONCERN
Motor noise (compressor)
Motor noise (compressor);
A clicking noise heard just before the
compressor starts.
Occasional gurgling, similar to water
boiling.
Airflow noise.
Rattling and other noises.
These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor and fan. At
start up and on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide additional
cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a
lower speed. As a result it is normal for sound levels to change depending on
operating conditions.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching
action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
Nothing. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to
circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy
usage or hot weather.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on
P6.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or
placed on top of the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that
they are vibrating (such as bottles).
