Warm Fridge

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.

 
•  The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
•  The doors are opened too frequently.
•  The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position
•  The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
•  The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is 

lower than 14°C. 

•  The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.
•  The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.

•  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.

•  The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).

•  These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation 

of condensation on certain parts of the product.

•  This shows the appliance is operating normally.

•  The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).

•  Excess moisture / Ice will occur if the Larder door is opened for 

prolonged periods. This will disappear once the door is closed and the 
Larder allowed to defrost and drain the moisture away. This is normal 
for cooling function of the Larder compartment, especially in summer 
period.

•  If room temperature is 7 C or lower, (for example the product is located 

in a garage or out building), for the refrigerator to operate correctly the 
“Fast Freeze switch” must be in the ‘

ON

’ position (see pag 16 for details)

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