Troubleshooting

Appliance

IceMaker

Fault

Possible cause

Remedial action

Appliance has no cooling capacity. 
The interior light does not function. 
The display does not come on.

Power failure; the fuse has actuated;
the mains plug is not in properly.

Check that the power is on. 
The fuse must be switched on. 
Check that the mains plug is plugged in. 

The refrigerating unit switches on more 
and more frequently and for longer.

Appliance door opened frequently.

Do not open the door unnecessarily.

Large quantities of fresh food placed 
in the appliance.

Switch on FAST COOLING/FAST 
FREEZING function.

The ventilation openings are covered.

Remove obstacles and dirt.

The temperature in the freezer 
compartment is too cold.

Temperature has been set too low.

Set a warmer temperature 
(see “Setting the temperature”).

The appliance becomes slightly louder 
for a brief period.

Not a fault!

 Your appliance is designed to save energy. Under certain conditions 

(e.g. activation of the FAST COOLING/FAST FREEZING function) the appliance must 
work harder for a brief period and therefore becomes slightly louder.

The interior light does not function.

The bulb is defective.

Change the bulb 
(see “Changing the bulb”).

The light switch is sticking.

Check whether it can be moved.

The appliance is giving off odors.

Strong-smelling foods have not been 
packed in airtight containers.

Clean the appliance. Pack strong-smelling 
foods in airtight containers (see “Odors”).

Fault

Possible cause

Remedial action

Ice maker does not appear 
to be running.

The ice maker is not connected 
to the power supply.

Call customer service. 

The ice maker has no water supply.

Ensure that the water supply line 
is connected properly.

The freezer compartment temperature is 
too high.

Check temperature of the freezer 
compartment. If required, lower 
the temperature.

Small ice cubes over a prolonged 
period.

Other domestic appliances which 
use water are in operation.

The ice maker has no water supply.

Water filter must be changed.

Instructions for changing the water 
filter can be found in the section 
"Water filter".

Wrong water pressure.

Check water pressure. The water 
pressure must be between 25 and 
120 p.s.i. (1.72–8.25 bar).

A wrong water valve has been installed.

Self-tapping valves and 

3

/

16

 

inch (4.76 mm) 

saddle valves reduce the water pressure 
and may eventually block the pipe.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage to property due to an incorrect 
installation or water connection.
