Problem
Solution
Unusual noise
Check that the appliance is no a flat, level surface and is stable.
Check the spacing around the appliance and ensure it is not
touching other items.
Bubbling and gurgling sound: This noise is emitted as the
refrigerant fluid flows through the pipes within the system. This is
normal
Water flowing sound: This is the normal sound of water flowing
into the drain trough during the defrosting process.
If the appliance is operating noisily (compressor noise): This is
normal. This noise indicates that the compressor is operating
normally. As the compressor is being energized, it might run a bit
more noisily for a brief period.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause popping
and cracking noises.
The fridge door will not open
If the door has just been opened, leave it for a few minutes to
allow the air pressure to equalize before trying again.
The compressor
runs continuously
The temperature is set too cold: select a lower (warmer) setting.
The door is open, or something is obstructing proper door closure.
The door gaskets are worn, dirty or damaged.
Large quantities of food have been added to the fridge.
The room temperature is hotter than usual.
The external fridge
surface is warm .
The exterior walls can be warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the
fridge cabinet.
