Breakdown
Cause
Solution
The appliance no longer
works
There is an interruption in the
power supply.
- check that the plug is properly inserted in the socket
- check that the power cable is not damaged
- check that there is voltage on the socket by connecting a
different appliance, such as a night lamp
- check that the appliance is on
Temperature in the
freezer is too high or
too low
Wrong setting of the thermostat.
- turn the thermostat to a different position
The ambient temperature is
higher or lower than the
temperature indicated in the
table with technical data.
The appliance is intended for operation in an
ambient temperature indicated in the table with technical
data supplied with the appliance.
The appliance is located in direct
sunlight or near a heat source.
Change the location of the appliance according to the
information in the instruction manual.
A too large amount of hot food
has been placed in the appliance
at once.
Wait 72 hours until the products are frozen. The
temperature in the appliance will return to the required
level.
The ventilation at the rear of the
appliance is hindered.
Keep the appliance 10 cm away from the walls, for
sufficient ventilation.
The door of the freezer is opened
too frequently or remains open
for too long.
Open the door less often and/or reduce the time that the
door remains open.
The door is not closed properly.
Make sure the foods are placed in such a way that they do
not hinder the door when it is being closed.
The compressor does not work
often enough.
Check that the ambient temperature is not lower than the
range of the climate class.
The door rubber is loose.
Fasten the door rubber or have it replaced.
The appliance is working
continuously.
Wrong setting of the thermostat.
- turn the thermostat to a higher position
Unusual or loud noises
The appliance is not level and
stable.
Level the appliance with the adjustable feet.
The appliance is standing against
something.
Place the appliance in such a way that it is not standing
against anything.
During normal use of the cooling appliance, different types of noises can occur that do not have any effect on the correct
operation of the freezer.
Noises that can be easily remedied:
• Noise due to the fact that the appliance is not level – position the appliance using the front adjustable feet. If necessary,
place soft material under the rear wheels, particular in case of a tiled floor.
• Friction against other furniture – move the appliance.
• Grinding of drawers or shelves – remove the shelf or drawer and then place it back.
• Noise of colliding bottles – place the bottles apart.
Noises that can be heard during normal use of the appliance are caused by the operation of the thermostat, compressor
(activation), cooling system (shrinkage and expansion of the material under the influence of temperature differences and
flow of cooling liquid).
