Normal noises
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
•
During automatic defrosting
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking noise occurs:
When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Motor noise:
Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may
cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash occurs:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of
the system.
Water flowing noise occurs:
Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This
noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs:
In No-Frost freezers during normal operation of the system
due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the freezer in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may
become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
The door does not open or close properly
Check if:
•
There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
•
The door joints are broken or torn
•
Your freezer is on a level surface.
Important Notes:
•
In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again,
the gas in the cooling system of your freezer will destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open. Your freezer will start to operate normally after 5
minutes.
•
If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the freezer, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
•
If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
