The door doesn't seem to close properly?
Sometimes the door can 'drop' slightly, and when this happens it will catch on the bottom panel. This is easy to adjust by either re-doing the hinge screws tight, or checking the actual black grill panel and moving it down slightly.
I have water/fog forming on the outside of the glass door?
In 55–60% humidity or more you will start to get fog and then water on the outside of the glass door — this is normal in glass-door fridge operation. A lot depends on the type of glass: special LOW-E glass helps prevent it up to about 75% humidity, and heated glass gets you to 100%.
The inner fan is noisy?
The inner fan may have developed faulty bearings; if this happens the noise will be very loud, like a plane landing in your lounge room. You need to replace the fan.
Another reason is that the fan blade itself may have 'moved' on its axis or is slightly out of position and is touching the fan bracket, so slightly moving the fan or bracket to a different position can be an easy fix. If you are looking at this while the unit is running, remember to be careful as the connections do contain 240V.
My fridge cools but just not enough?
If one of the fans has failed (inner and underneath) then the unit will just not quite get to temp — it will usually sit at about 8–12°C. Check both fans.
*Check your condenser under the unit to make sure it hasn't blocked up with dust and particles. This part is a big black wire cage, and it's important that it's clean.
*Is the door sealing properly? A gap in the seal can cause the unit to ice up on the rear wall and stop airflow, causing it to not quite cool.
My fridge has stopped cooling completely?
If the unit has stopped cooling completely — meaning the fridge only sits at 'room temperature' — then you need to check these main things.
- Inner fan still going?
- Bottom fan and compressor still going?
