6. Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your fridge-freezer does not appear to be operating properly, please refer to the checklist below before
contacting Consumer Services.
My fridge-freezer does not appear to be working / there is no power to my appliance
• Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket.
• Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there has not been a power cut or that the fuse has not
blown).
• Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance.
My fridge-freezer appears to be performing poorly
• Check that the appliance is not overloaded and that food has not been packed too tightly into it.
• The thermostat setting is too low: you should turn the thermostat up higher.
• Make sure that the door is closing properly and that the door has not been opened for a long period in error.
• Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation for your appliance.
My fridge-freezer is noisy
• The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is
not running.
• 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 freezer and that nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling.
Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my fridge
• Check that food has not been pushed too far back inside the appliance, so that it is in contact with the inner back
wall.
IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of
ice droplets does not indicate an appliance fault.
There is water in the base of the fridge or leaking out of the fridge
• See ‘The Defrost Drain Hole‘ section in ‘Cleaning and Maintenance’.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating
correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains
supply and then contact Consumer Services.
