TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem| R e a s o n / s ol u t i on
---|---

Low voltage

| Ensure the cellar is plugged in and connected to power.

No power

| Ensure the temperature knob is not turned to the OFF mode.

Illuminating light does not shine

|

• Ensure the beverage cooler is connected to power.
• Check if the light is damaged. If so, stop use and contact help.Kogan.com for assistance.

The compressor is running longer than usual.

|

• If there are too many beverages in the beverage cooler, this may lead the compressor to run for longer to reach the desired temperature.
•  Frequent opening of the door causes the cool air to escape from the beverage cooler. The compressor will then continue to run.
• It is normal that the compressor operates for a longer period when the ambient temperature is higher (during summer, for example).

Loud noises

|

• Ensure the beverage cooler is placed on a flat stable surface.
• Ensure the door and shelves are secure.

Condensation on the door seal and exterior

|

• The beverage cooler may emit heat during operation when the ambient temperature is higher (during summer, for example). This is caused by the radiation of the condenser and is a normal phenomenon.
• Wipe any condensation with a soft cloth.

Abnormal sounds emitting from the beverage cooler

|

• Refrigerant circulating within the beverage cooler may produce sounds when in use. This is normal.
• Buzzing noises may be generated from the compressor especially when the beverage cooler is being turned on or off.
