TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Sometimes you may come across minor problems that in most cases do not require a
service call and can be easily eliminated. The problem may have resulted from improper
handling and / or installation of the appliance. Please refer to the below trouble-shooting
guide to assist you in identifying the possible cause and solution to your problem. Should
the problem still persist after completing these checkpoints, contact the closest authorized
service agent in your area for assistance.
The Appliance Fail to operate after Connecting to Electrical Power Supply
Make sure the power cord is properly connected.
Check the power supply in the electrical outlet. (Whether the fuse or circuit breaker was
broken or not).
Make sure the appliance is switched on. (e.g. thermostat knob in operating position)
Continuous Operation of the Cooling System
The door is frequently opened or left open for too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be polluted or
damaged). Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance.
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor (assure adequate air
circulation).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the outlet to the drain pan on
the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (1/8-1/5in.), ice should be
manually defrosted.
Disconnect the power supply, leave the door open and defrost the ice. Never use electric
devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.
After defrosting is complete, turn the knob to desired position and close the door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following:
The door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if it is
damaged); the door is frequently opened or left open too long;
The food stored in the appliance was too warm;
The food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
Water is Leaking from the Appliance
If the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel, water
will leak from the appliance.
Clean the clogged outlet.
Manually defrost the increased ice layer (see ice Formation on the Inner rear Wall).
