Fault:
Cause/Remedy
The appliance does not
operate after connection to the
mains:
• Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is
switched on.
Cooling system operates
continuously without
intermittent stoppages:
• Ambient temperature too high.
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged
door, check gasket sealing, etc...).
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
• Refrigerator probe (A) is clogged with fresh food. Relocate the
food to provide air circulation around the probe (certain models
only).
• Check air circulation for suffi cient cooling of the compressor, and
clean the condenser.
Excessive ice formation at the
rear interior wall of the freezer:
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Inserting hot food in the freezer.
• Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the refrigerator.
• Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or damaged.
Build-up of ice or frost in the
freezer interior may be a result
of the following:
• Door opened too frequently or too long.
• Door not properly closed.
• Poor door sealing.
• If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.
Water dripping from the
appliance:
• Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection
groove.
• Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.
• Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).
Red signal light fl ashing (only
freezer):
•Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged
door, damaged gasket, etc...).
• Excessively long power failure.
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
Diffi cult door opening:
• If you attempt to open the immediately closed door of the freezer
you may experience resistance. This happens because certain
quantity of cold air escapes from the appliance through the open
door and is replaced by warm ambient air. Cooling of such air
creates negative pressure (vacuum) and suction, which prevents
easy opening of the door. Situation is normalized after a few
minutes (5-10), and you can open the door with ease.
