Problem
Possible cause
The freezer does not work.
• It is not plugged in or the plug is loose.
• The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse.
• The outlet socket is defective – mains
malfunctions are to be corrected by a licensed
electrician.
The compressor turns on and off
frequently. Does that indicate that
there is a problem?
• The room temperature is hotter than normal.
• A large amount of food has been added to the
cabinet.
• The lid is being opened too often, or not closed
completely.
• The lid gasket does not seal properly.
• The appliance does not have the correct
ventilation clearances.
• The appliance has recently been disconnected
for a period of time. At least two hours are
required for the appliance to cool down.
The temperature inside the
freezer is too warm.
• The temperature control is set too warm.
Set a lower temperature within the -14
°
C to
-25
°
C range and allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilise.
• The lid is kept open too long or is opened too
frequently. Warm air enters the appliance every
time the lid is opened. Open the lid less often.
• The lid is not closed completely.
• The lid gasket does not seal properly. Clean
it, or if no longer seals airtight, see the last
problem on the following page for a solution.
• A large amount of warm food might have been
stored recently. Wait until the freezer has had a
chance to reach its selected temperature.
• The freezer has recently been disconnected
for a period of time. At least two hours are
required for the appliance to cool down.
• The appliance is located near a heat source.
