Solutions to problems
Condensation outside the
refrigerator
According to international standard
ISO8187, domestic refrigerators,
freezers and refrigerator/freezers
should not present condensation
outside.
However, when installed in areas with
relative humidity above 80% and
room temperatures above 32°C
(89.6°F), it is normal for the
refrigerator to have some outside
condensation (moisture).
Door seals
When the door(s) are closed, an
internal vacuum forms. This can
make it difficult to open the door. We
recommend waiting a few seconds
before reopening it/them.
Normal operating noises
When the refrigerator is turned on
and off, it may make a clicking noise
that is perfectly normal. This is the
thermostat going off and on.
(temperature control).
While the refrigerator is running, it
may make a "screech", especially
when the door is open.
This noise is due to the expansion of
the cooling fluid inside the
refrigerator. It does not mean there is
a problem with the appliance.
Due to the door's sealing system,
noises and clicks may be heard
when closing the door. This is the
result of the sudden cooling of inside
air.
The compressor may make a noise
or a pulsing sound. This is a
Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator
with a damp cloth dipped in warm
water and mild soap.
Once every 6 months, clean the back
of the refrigerator with a vacuum
cleaner or a duster. The dust that
accumulates there interferes with
proper functioning of the condenser,
and therefore of the refrigerator,
leading to higher energy
consumption. Disconnect the
refrigerator before cleaning and do
not touch the condenser or the
compressor, as they may be hot.
The drainage tray should be cleaned
at least once a year.
Water will enter the refrigerator if the
drainpipe becomes blocked; if this
happens, disassemble the light
protector and wash out the drain
pipe.
Door seals
The rubber door seals should be
carefully cleaned with a damp cloth.
Rinse and dry them carefully to avoid
damage.
Removable parts
Washing the parts with warm water
and detergent, dry them and do not
use abrasive products.
Cleaning the drainage tray
The drainage tray is in the back of
your refrigerator. It retains the water
from the defrosting process.
After cleaning the refrigerator, check the
following:
1. Check to be sure the cord is not
damaged.
2. Check to see if the plug is properly
connected to the outlet.
3. Check to see if the grounding cable is
installed.
4. Check to see if the drain is clogged.
Please follow the procedure for
cleaning process:
First, please, turn off the unit. Do
not touch the condenser or the
compressor, they maybe hot. Clean
the tray and return it to the original
position.
Our recommendation is to clean this
tray at least once a year.
