Symptom
Clicking noise from the rear, compressor tries to start then stops repeatedly, poor or no cooling.
Compressor Start Failure / Overload Cycling
Symptom
Condensation or water droplets forming on the exterior cabinet or around the door frame.
Condensation / Mullion Heater or Insulation Issue
Symptom
Display panel lights up but buttons do not respond or settings cannot be changed.

Symptom
Door not closing properly, gaps visible, condensation and frost forming around the door area.
Door Gasket / Hinge Alignment Fault
Symptom
Excessive frost or ice build-up in the freezer, needing frequent manual defrosting.
Automatic Defrost System Failure
Symptom
Freezer cold but refrigerator warm, food spoiling in fridge section, no error code displayed.
Airflow / Damper or Fan Circulation Failure
Symptom
Ice maker not producing ice, but water dispenser (if fitted) works normally.
Ice Maker Mechanical or Control Fault
Symptom
Interior light not working but refrigerator otherwise cools normally.
Lamp / LED Module or Door Switch Failure
Symptom
Refrigerator cools initially but then stops cooling until power is cycled.

Symptom
Refrigerator not cooling at all, both fridge and freezer warm, interior light works but no compressor noise.
Compressor Not Running
Symptom
Refrigerator not starting at all, no lights, no display, completely dead.
No Power / Main Supply Fault
Symptom
Refrigerator runs continuously and is too cold, food freezing in the fresh-food compartment.
Thermostat / Temperature Control Fault
Symptom
Refrigerator trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when plugged in or during operation.
Electrical Short or Earth Leakage
Symptom
Refrigerator very noisy with a high-pitched whine or grinding sound from inside the cabinet.
Evaporator Fan Motor Bearing Failure
Symptom
Water dispenser very slow or stops after a short burst, but ice production may be normal.
Restricted Water Flow
Symptom
Water pooling inside the refrigerator compartment, especially under the crisper drawers.
