Troubleshooting
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 (89.60°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

characteristic of modern compressors
that operate at higher speeds than
older models.
Contraction and dilatation of inside
components, due to temperature
variations, can cause soft clicking
noises in the refrigerator.
Warmth near the doors
It is normal for the area near the door
and sides to present higher
temperatures. The warmth prevents
moisture formation.
Warmth near the back
It is normal for this area to present
higher temperatures, since this is
where the cooling fluid circulates at
higher temperatures. Avoid contact
with this part of the refrigerator.
Normal operation
01. It takes a few minutes for the
freezer and refrigerator
compartments to cool when the
unit is turned on: If the
temperature of one of the
compartments is higher, when the
unit is turned on, it will take a few
moments for it to drop.
02. The compressor surface is heating
up: It is normal for the compressor
surface to heat up when it is
operating properly. You should
not touch it.
