Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.

Malfunctions: 

                                    

The green POWER indicator light does 
not illuminate.

The indicator lights are on but the light 
is dim.

The ALARM indicator light remains 
illuminated constantly.

The motor runs continuously.

The appliance makes a lot of noise.

Possible causes / Solutions:

•  The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far 

enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.

•  Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the socket.

•  The door is not closed properly or has been open continuously.
•  The door has been opened too frequently. 
•  The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.

•  The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is in the “Fast Freeze” 

position: the yellow FAST FREEZE indicator light is on (see Description).

•  The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
•  The outside ambient temperature is very high.
•  The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see Maintenance).

•  The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see 

Installation).

•  The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and 

make noise.

•  The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor 

is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
