20 What to do when ...............

a) The appliance does not function (it’s not

running).

Please check:

 Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket

properly?

 Is the electricity coming through?

 (check this by possibly plugging in a small appliance

such as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.)

 Is the appliance switched on? (Temperature dial

should not be set to ”0”).

 Is the house installation fuse screwed in and intact, or

reset?

b) The appliance is not getting sufficiently cold

Compressor is running too often

Please check:

Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to

stand for at least 2 hours before switching it on? (To

stabilise the circulation of the refrigerating fluid) see:

“starting up“.

If no; Pull out the appliance plug connector, lift

appliance with door closed on to one side for a short

time, or place in an inclined position and then back on

its feet. Plug in again after 2 hours. Do not open the

door for ca. 12 hours.

 If the door is closing correctly, the door seal is firmly

and uniformly pressed against the casing.

Test: place a sheet or writing paper between the seal

and the casing and close the door. The paper should

be difficult to pull out on all sides.)

Call the after-sales service if the paper can be pulled

out without resistance at one or more points.

 Heavy ice formation on the internal walls of the freezer

compartment (see „Cleaning and care“)

 Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or is it sited

too close to a heat source (stove, radiator etc.)

Protect the appliance from direct sunlight / check

distance from heat source / place insulation board

between appliance and heat source. (see “Selecting

installation location“)

 Is it filled with an excessive quantity of fresh food

 Is the aeration and venting ok, is the ventilation grille

covered or is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the

rear outside wall of the appliance laden with dust?

c) The temperature in the fridge compartment is

too low

 Set the temperature controller to a lower setting

 Check whether the freezer compartment door is

correctly closed

 Has a large amount (more than 1 kg) of fresh food

been frozen? (this will cause the refrigeration unit to

run for a very long time and the temperature in the

fridge compartment will automatically fall)

 Has the super cooling function – where fitted – not cut

out

d) The frozen produce defrosts because it is too

warm in the freezer compartment

 Has the room temperature for which your appliance is

designed, been fallen below ? (if the room

temperature is too low, the refrigeration unit runs less

frequently. Therefore it can be too warm in the freezer

compartment)

 Increase the room temperature

e) Has a thick coating of ice formed in the freezer

compartment?

 Check whether the door of the freezer compartment

closes correctly

 If the frozen produce is frozen in place, release it using

a blunt object, e.g. with the handle of a spoon

 Allow the freezer compartment to defrost and then

clean it (see chapter „Defrosting“)

An excessively thick coating of ice reduces the cooling

capacity and the current consumption increases.

f) The interior light does not function

Check as follows

 Is the light contact switch jammed?

 If not, then the lamp is defective. Change the lamp as

described in chapter „Interior light – changing the

lamp“

g) Appliance is excessively noisy

Check as follows:

 Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, are

adjacent items of furniture or objects being caused to

vibrate by the running fridge/freezer? Ensure that all

parts mounted to the rear wall can vibrate freely;

 carefully bend aside any contacting parts or increase

the distance between the appliance and the obstacle.

 Are all removable parts correctly seated in the

appliance?

 Are any bottles or containers touching?

Note; Flowing sounds in the refrigerant circuit cannot be

avoided.

In no case are any interventions of a technical

nature to be made to the appliance or attempts

made to -repair it yourself.

21 Getting your appliance serviced

Any repairs or interventions on the appliance

should only be carried out by the responsible

service department, as otherwise the user may run

considerable risks and the guarantee may no longer

be valid.
