There is a noise coming from my fridge

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

A loud crackling sound from inside your fridge 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.

I have a holiday button on my fridge, what does it do?

Most appliances do have a holiday mode button. This is designed to be used after you have emptied the contents of your appliance and are going to be away from the house / appliance for a number of days or weeks.

During this period, and once on this setting, your appliance will run on the bare minimum amount of temperature needed to still function, this also dissconnects the cooling apparatus within your fridge.

If we are to assume that you are away from your appliance for a short period of time, and your doors are shut, the energy consumption will be much lower.

Please do not use the holiday function unless the fridge is empty, as if you do select it when there are items inside, you will; result in food loss.

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