Diagnosis and Removal of Troubles
Please Diagnose Troubles Correctly
The Following Phenomena Are Not Troubles
When the compressor is operating, the
normal temperature on its surface reaches
80~90℃.
There are heat pipes storing inside the
fridge to prevent "sweating" on its outer ca-
sing which becomes a little warm. There is
a condensor, which is used to dissipate
heat, storing inside both of the inner-storing
side plates, so they are slightly warm too.
In a short period after the starting and
stopping of the compressor, a "ping-peng"
sound may be heard. This is because the
evaporator in the cold-storing chamber is
defrosting and water on the surface of the
evaporator is being condensed.
Sometimes there would be sounds of
running or boiling water . This results from
the flowing of cooling of liquid by cooling
equipment.
When the ambient relative humidity is
quite high, condensation would take place
on the surface of the fridge.This is a natural
phenomenon. Please wipe it off with a dry
cloth or move the fridge at the place where
there is good ventilation.
Is the power line cord out of the plug
socket?
Has the power circuit at your house fu-
sed? Is there any trouble or wrong connec-
tion with the circuit?
Is voltage correct (it should be 220~
240V)
Has the knob of the temperature re-
gulator set at position "0"?
Not Refrigerating at all
Poor Refrigeration
Loud Noise
Frozen Food at Cold-storing
Chamber
Never Stopping Working
Is the knob of the temperature regulator
set properly?
Is food in the fridge piled too thick?
Is there any hot food in the fridge?
Were the doors opened too frequently
or were they not shut properly?
Is the fridge in a suitable place?
Is the floor solid or flat enough?
Is the fridge seated stably?
Does the fridge keep touch with other
objects or walls?
Is the knob of the temperature regulator
set properly or was it set to position
"7" for a long time?
Is there rich-watered food in the inside
of the shelf?
Is the ambient temperature too low (less
than 10℃)?
Is the knob of the temperature regulator
set to strongly refrigerating points (positions
6~7)?
Is there too much food put into the fridge
at one batch or is there any hot food in it? If
so, the compressor will not return to normal
starting or stopping time until it operates for
several hours.
Have the doors been opened too
frequently or not shut closely? Is the ambient
temperature too high?
After checking, if troubles still remain,it
is not advisable to dismantle any part of the
fridge by yourself and it should be overhauled
according to the instructions stipulated in the
guarantee card.
While the knob of temperature com-
pensating switch is set to position"ON"
and the compressor stops operating, there
may still be a small reading on the kilowatt
-hour meter. This means that defrosting is
under way with only very small power con-
sumption.
