Troubleshooting

If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator,

you can carry out some easy checks before calling for

service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from

inconvenience and saving time and money.

caution

The glass shelves weigh approximately 3kg each. Hold

ﬁrmly when removing from the cabinet or when carrying.

problem solution

When your appliance

is not operating

• Check that the power cord is plugged

into the power outlet properly and that the

outlet is switched ‘ON’.

• Try 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.

• Try adjusting the temperature control to a

slightly “colder” position.

• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to

operate during the automatic defrost cycle,

or for a short time after the refrigerator is

switched on.

When there is

refrigerator noise

Modern refrigerators/freezers with

increased storage capacity use high speed

compressors. These can provide a seemingly

high level of sound which is quite normal.

Normal operational sounds include:

• Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.

• Air ow 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 merely

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 oor is uneven or weak.

• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.

• There are vibrations from an object on top of

or behind or beside the refrigerator.

• The 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.

If there are odours

inside the refrigerator

• The interior may need cleaning.

• Some foods produce odours.

• Some containers and wrapping can cause

odours.

• Ask yourself if the odour started about the

same time you started storing something

unusual.

6 storing food electrolux four-door refrigerator

Storing food

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximise

the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the

food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a

general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Fruit and vegetables

To minimise moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be

loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags) and

placed in the Vegetable crisper or the Chilled compartment.

Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins do not require

wrapping.

Dairyproductsandeggs

• Most dairy products have a use by date on the

outer packaging which indicates the recommended

temperature and expected life of the product.

• Eggs should be stored in the egg tray.

Meat, ﬁsh and poultry

• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic

wrap.

• For larger cuts of meat, sh or poultry, place to the rear

of the shelves.

• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in

an airtight container.

Forbestfreezing

• Food should be fresh.

• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them

quickly.

• Food should be properly stored in containers or freezer

bags. Air should be removed if possible and seal tightly.

• Evenly place the food in the freezer.

• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen

food.

Some household cleaning chemicals can cause cracks,

splits or discolouration on the inside surface of the

refrigerator and door liner. Only use diluted dishwashing

liquid and ensure that all plastic is wiped with fresh water

after cleaning.

Alkaline detergents may affect the aluminium parts of the

door handle, causing it to tarnish.

1 Remove the shelves and bins from the cabinet and door.

Wash them in warm soapy water; rinse in clean water

and dry.

2 Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy

water. Then use cold water to wipe off the soapy water.

3 Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.

4 Clean the magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and

warm soapy water.

5 Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth.

When the motor

seems to run more

than expected

Your new refrigerator provides you with large

capacities in both the refrigerator section and

the separate freezer. It is normal for the motor

to operate frequently. However, to keep

operation to a minimum, check the following:

• Are doors kept open too long or too often?

• Are controls set too cold? See “Controlling

temperature”.

• Have large amounts of warm food just

recently been stored? Summer, festive

seasons and holidays usually mean a lot

more work for your refrigerator.

• If the day is hot or the room is very warm,

the refrigerator will need to run more than

normal.

• The refrigerator will run more that normal

just after you install it or when it has been

turned off for a long time.

If the temperature in

the refrigerator is too

warm

• Check that the refrigerator has enough

clearance at the sides, back and top.

Refer to the installation Instructions at the

front of this booklet.

• Refer to “Controlling temperature”.

• You may have kept the door open too

long or too frequently.

• Food containers or packaging may be

holding a door open.

If the temperature in

the refrigerator is too

cold

• Refer to “Controlling temperature”.

• Increase the temperature to avoid high

energy consumption.

If heavy frosting

occurs in the freezer

Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge

doors. If the doors are left partly open a heavy

frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost

develops, remove it. Take care to properly

close the doors and the frost will not reoccur.

If water droplets form

on the aluminium

panel

This is normal as the panel is cooled from

the rear, therefore indirectly cooling the

refrigerator compartment. It is normal for

water droplets to form on this panel under

humid weather conditions.

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, which is stated on the label inside the

refrigerator compartment.

If a refrigerator lamp blows

The lamp should only be replaced by a service centre

approved by Electrolux.

Switching off your refrigerator

If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an extended

period, the following steps should be taken to reduce the

symptoms of mould:

1 Remove all food.

2 Remove the power plug from the power point.

3 Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

4 Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air

circulation.
