The refrigerant gas is leaking
Find the location of gas leak in order to
seal and replace the defective
component. Change the drier. Perform
a good vacuum and recharge unit.
The evaporator and/or condenser fans
are not working
Check electrical connections and make
sure that the fan blade isn‟t stuck.
Replace the fan motor if it doesn‟t
work.
Re-arrange product to allow for proper
air flow. Make sure there is at least four
inches of clearance from evaporator.
Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Wires or electrical components are in
direct contact with metallic parts.
Check for appropriate insulation on the
connections of each component.
The refrigerator is not properly levelled
Check if the noise goes away after you
level the refrigerator
The condenser is not fastened
correctly. Copper tubing is in contact
with metal
While the compressor is working,
check to see if metal parts are in
contact with one another and/or if the
screws that fasten the condenser are
tightened.
The evaporator and/or condenser fans
are loose
Check if the fans are securely
fastened. Also, check if the fan blades
are loose, broken or crooked. If so,
change the faulty blade.
Compressor has an internal noise
If the noise persists after all other
measures have been taken, it may be
originating from the compressor.
Locate and tighten loose part(s)
Extreme condensation inside the
refrigerator
Controller is set at a very cold position
Set the controller to a warmer position
& check to see if compressor stops as
should.
The outside environment‟s relative
humidity is very high (over 75%)
This type of occurrence is caused by
local climatic conditions and not by the
refrigeration unit.
The refrigerator door wont shut
completely
Check the door and/or the magnetic
gasket. Adjust the door hinges if
needed; replace the gasket if broken.
The refrigerator had been placed at an
inadequate location
The unit must not be near sources that
produce too much heat.
No illumination (Glass door models
only)
The light switch is “off” position
Press the light switch to “on” position
False contact on the light switch, the
fluorescent tube, or the ballast
Light switch, ballast and/or fluorescent
tube are damaged
Replace the damaged component.
Condensing unit runs for
long periods of time
Excessive amount of warm product
placed in cabinet
Advise user to leave adequate time for
products to cool down
Prolonged door opening or door ajar
Advise user to ensure doors are closed
when not in use and to avoid opening
doors for long periods of time.
Door gasket(s) not sealing properly
Ensure gaskets are snapped in
completely. Remove gasket and wash
with soap and water. Check condition
of gasket & replace if necessary
