Troubleshooting guide

The ice has an unpleasant smell
or taste:

The dispenser does not dispense
ice when the lever is pressed:

There is condensation in the ice
and water dispenser:

The automatic ice-maker noises:

The lamp does not work:

• Has the ice absorbed bad odours? Is the quality of the water good? Water

containing minerals may require a filter.

• Is the food properly covered?
• Is the ice bucket/freezer compartment clean? Follow the instructions for

the correct ice dispenser water supply. 

• Are the pipes correctly connected to the ice dispenser? The first ice cubes

coming out of the dispenser may have an unpleasant taste, therefore it is
advisable to discard them and make new ice cubes.

• Change the ice selection from cubes to crushed ice, or vice versa, in

order to remove any ice blocks. If the dispenser still does not dispense
ice, wait a couple of minutes and repeat the operation.

• Press the corresponding button (marked with A in the

figure) to activate the anticondensation function.

Since the appliance is equipped with an automatic ice-maker, you may hear
a humming sound (coming from the water valve), water trickling and the
sound of ice falling into the bucket.

1. Always unplug the appliance. 
2. Refer to chapter “Maintenance and Cleaning”
