Electrolux EQE6870 - Refrigerator Operation & Moisture Issues

ENGLISH 25
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Running of Refrigerator
Compressor does
not run.
• Refrigerator is in defrost
cycle.
• Plug at electrical outlet is
disconnected.
• House fuse blown or tripped
circuit breaker.
• Power outage.
• This is normal for a fully automatic defrost
refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodi-
cally, lasting about 30 minutes.
• Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.
• Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay
fuse. Reset circuit breaker.
• Check house lights. Call local electric com-
pany.
Refrigerator seems to
run too much or too
long.
• Your variable speed com-
pressor is designed to run
100% of the time except
during the defrost cycle. At
times it will run faster, such
as after a defrost cycle.
• It is normal for the compressor to run continu-
ously except during defrost mode.
Digital Temperature Setting Display
Digital temperature
displays an error.
• Electronic control system
has detected a performance
problem.
• Call your Electrolux service representative,
who can interpret any messages or number
codes flashing on the digital displays.
Water/Moisture/Frost Inside Refrigerator
Moisture collects on
inside of refrigerator
walls.
• Weather is hot and humid.
• Flipper mullion
• The rate of frost buildup and internal sweat-
ing increases.
• Adjust flipper mullion. (See “To adjust the
flipper mullion” in the Installation section.)
Water collects on
bottom side of draw-
er cover.
• Vegetables contain and give
off moisture.
• It is not unusual to have moisture on the
bottom side of the cover.
Water collects in
bottom of drawer.
• Washed vegetables and fruit
drain while in the drawer
• Dry items before putting them in the drawer.
Water collecting in bottom of drawer is
normal
Water/Moisture/Frost Outside Refrigerator
Moisture collects on
outside of refrigerator
or between doors.
• Weather is humid. • This is normal in humid weather. When humid-
ity is lower, the moisture should disappear.
Food in Fresh Food Compartment
Food is freezing. • Temperature setting is too
low.
• Temperature sensor is cov-
ered by food (right side of
fresh food area).
• Food is covering the air
ports.
• Move the setting to a higher degree.
• Allow space for air flow to the sensor.
• Allow space between the air ports and the
food.
