If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator,

service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from
inconvenience, saving time and money.

• C heck that the power cord is plugged
operating
into the power outlet properly and that the
outlet is switched 'ON'.
• T ry running another appliance from the
power outlet. If no power is coming from
the outlet you may have blown a fuse or
tripped a circuit of your household power
supply.

increased storage capacity use high
noise
speed compressors. These can provide a
seemingly high level of sound which is quite
normal. Normal operational sounds include:
• O ccasional gurgling, similar to water
boiling.
• A ir flow noise (air circulates because of a
small fan).
• A popping noise heard during automatic
defrost.
• A clicking noise heard just before
the compressor starts (this is just
the automatic switching action of
the temperature control, turning the
compressor on or off).
Other strange sounds may mean that
you need to check and take action. For
example, noises may mean that:
• The cabinet is not level.
• The floor is uneven or weak.
• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• T here are vibrations from an object on top
of or behind or beside the refrigerator.
• T he back of the refrigerator cabinet is
touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to
seem louder just after the refrigerator
starts operating.

When the motor

than expected
to frequently hear the sound of the motor.
However, to keep operation to a minimum
check the following:
• A re doors kept open too long or too often?
• A re controls set too cold? See 'Controlling
the temperature' on pages 4 – 6.
• H ave large amounts of warm food just
recently been stored? Summer, festive
seasons and holidays usually mean a lot
more work for your refrigerator.
• I f the day is hot or the room is very warm,
the refrigerator will need to run more than
normal.

after you install it or when it has been turned
off for a long time.

properly close the doors.

The defrost water tray, (located at the back
floor
or underneath of the cabinet) may not be
properly positioned, or the drain tube may
not be properly positioned to direct water into
this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator
away from the wall to check the tray and tube.

self close.
• C heck whether something is holding the
door open.
It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily
open and re-close, when the food storage
compartment door is closed. If the freezer
door stays open, it indicates that the
refrigerator needs to be tilted backwards a
little further. If you call a service person to solve
this problem you will be charged for the cost
of the service call, this is not a warranty fault.
If you still require service
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you
have made the checks mentioned above, contact your
nearest Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer
you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the
model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which
is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
