Modified on Sun, 10 Sep, 2023 at 11:14 PM

The fridge isn’t operating


• Check that the fridge is plugged in and connected to power.

• Check whether the voltage is too low.

• Check that a fuse hasn’t blown or circuit tripped.


Illuminating light does not work


• Ensure the fridge is connected to power.

• Check that the globe hasn’t blown.


The fridge is making a strange odour


• Odourous foods should be closely wrapped and sealed in containers.

• Ensure that the interior is clean. Refer to cleaning instructions.


The fridge door doesn’t close properly


• Ensure that food isn’t preventing the door from closing.

• Ensure that the fridge is completely level and feet are adjusted to touch the floor.

• Ensure the fridge door gaskets/seals are clean.


The fridge compressor is continuously running


• It is normal for the fridge compressor to operate for longer periods of time when the ambient temperature is higher (i.e... in Summer).

• Do not put too much food in the fridge at one time.

• Do not put warm/hot foods into the fridge.

• Try to minimise the frequency of the door opening.


Water pan overflows


• Doors not closed properly, resulting in increased defrosting.

• Too much food within the fridge, or stored food contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.


The fridge is making loud noises


• It’s normal for the fridge to make noises when refrigerant coolant is being circulated.

• Check that the fridge is correctly levelled.
