Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your fridge appears not to be 
operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic 
Customer Care Department, please refer to the 
checklist below. 
 
My fridge does not appear to be working/there is no 
power to my appliance. 
 
o
Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket.
o
Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there 
hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown). 
o
Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has not been 
turned to the off position. 
o
Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the 
voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance. 
 
My fridge appears to be performing poorly. 
 
 
o
Check that the appliance isn’t overloaded and that food hasn’t 
been packed too tightly into it. 
o
The thermostat setting is too low; you should turn the 
thermostat up higher. 
o
Ensure that the door is closing properly and that the door has 
not been opened for a prolonged period in error. 
o
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your appliance.
 
My fridge is noisy. 
 
 
o
The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance 
may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running. 
o
If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder than normal; 
check that it is levelled off correctly, that nothing is touching the 
rear of the fridge and that nothing placed inside the appliance is 
rattling. 
 
A thick ice sheet has formed on the inner back wall of 
my fridge. 
 
o
Check that food has not been pushed too far back inside the 
appliance, so that it is in contact with the inner back wall.  
o
The formation of ice droplets on the inner back wall does not 
indicate a product fault.
