TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: Before calling for service, review this list as it may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
DEW DROPS
When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the fridge, dew drops can be formed. If the humidity of the installed location is high or during the summer months, dew drops can form on the outside of the fridge. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs during humid weather. Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth.
NOISE
When you operate the fridge for the first time, the fridge will operate at high speed to cool fast and the sound can seem louder. When the internal temperature falls below a certain level the noise will subside. When the operation of the compressor is starting or ending, various parts expanding/contraction or various control devices operating or temperature change within the fridge you will hear sounds, these are normal occurrences.
HOT COMPRESSOR
When working the temperature of the outside of the compressor is more than 80°C, please do not touch the compressor, it may cause serious injury.
COMPRESSOR KEEPS RUNNING
When the ambient temperature is too high or there is too much fresh food placed into the fridge it will take a long time to cool down and reach the desired set temperature.
HUMMM…WHOOSH
The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating. You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and SNAPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature. Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
WATER
The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water. Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle. A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan. Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pres-sure equalization.
