4 Troubleshooting
Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
Inoperation | Ensure the cooler is plugged in and connected to power. Check that the voltage is not low. Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped. | |
Long-term operation of compressor | Do not overload the coolers. Do not open the doors too frequently. Note that it is normal that the cooler operates for a longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher. | |
Light is out | Check whether the cooler is connected to power supply and whether the indicator light is damaged. | |
Loud noises | Ensure that the cooler is sitting on a flat and stable surface. Ensure that the cooler accessories are properly placed. | |
Cooler enclosure heat condensation | The cooler enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer, caused by the radiation of the condenser; this is normal. Condensation may be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the appliance when humidity is high; this is normal. | |
Airflow sound (Buzz/Clatter) | The compressor may cause a buzzing sound when starting up or shutting down. The solenoid valve or electric switch valve may create a clattering sound which is normal and does not affect the operation. |
