Troubleshooting

There is a noise coming from my fridge freezer

It isn’t uncommon for there to be a noise coming from your fridge freezer, this is more likely to happen when the appliance is new.

A loud crackling sound from inside your fridge freezer can normally be down to the build up of frost in your internal components.

Below are some causes for noise:

• The compressor / pump motor – This is normal

• The pipe is vibrating against a wall – Please check the positioning of the pipe

• There is circulation of gas around the pipes – This is normal

• Cracking sound – air movement – This is normal

I want to stack my fridge and freezer on top of each other, is this possible?

We do not recommend the stacking of cooling appliances on top of each other. As they are not built to be suitable for this purpose.

If you would like to stack appliances, you would need to purchase a product that is built and designed to save space, such as fridge freezer.

If you require further help please call us on 0344 822 4224.
