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.

• Check air circulation for suf

fi

 cient cooling of the compressor, 

and clean the condenser.

• Intensive cooling option is on.

Excessive ice formation at 
the rear interior wall of the 
refrigerator:

•  Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

•  Inserting hot food in the refrigerator.

•  Food is touching the rear interior panel.

•  Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or 

damaged.

Water dripping from the 
appliance:

•  Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection 

groove.

•  Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw. For models 

fi

 tted with the ZeroZone drawer call service center.

•  Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting) 

Sound alarm:

•  Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

•  Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, 

sagged door, check gasket sealing, etc...).

•  Prolonged power failure.

•  Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.

•  Refrigerator sensor (A) is crammed with fresh food. Free the 

sensor and allow air to circulate around it.

Dif

fi

 cult door opening:

•  If you attempt to open the immediately closed door of 

the cooler 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.
