Page 8 Questions and answers Why do the front and sides of the refrigera- Heating tubes are located beneath the surtor feel warm? face which are designed to prevent water vapour from condensing on a cold surface. Why are the doors sometimes difficult to open? When the door is closed and opened immediately thereafter, warm air which entered the refrigerator caused a pressure difference which tends to suck the door closed momentarily. Wait a little while and the door should open easily once more. Why does the refrigerator sometimes make These are normal and could be caused by a peculiar gurgling, buzzing or cracking the compressor, the defrost system, the fan, noise.? and material shrinkage / expansion Levelling the refrigerator can reduce these sounds. Why does moisture form on the interior walls and lamp housing? If the refrigerator or freezer is located in a hot and humid area, and the door is opened frequently, water droplets or dew may form on the interior walls of the appliance. This has no effect on the performance and the water may simply be wiped up using an absorbent cloth. Why is the refrigerator too warm or too cold? Set the freezer and refrigerator temperatures to a more suitable setting. Check: Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem, please check: • Are the temperatures set correctly? • Is the power switched OFF? The power should be ON. • Has a house fuse blown or a circuit tripped out? Repair or re-set as necessary. • Is the 15-amp plug pushed firmly into the wall socket? Check another appliance such as a toaster or kettle in the same socket. • Has the door been left open for a long time? Close the door and monitor performance. • Is there adequate provision for airflow at the rear of the unit.? • Are any of the shelves so tightly packed as to obstruct air flow between stored foods?
