Problem Cause and remedy
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time. The
temperature in the refri-
geration appliance is
too low. The ventilation gaps in the housing unit have been
covered or become too dusty.
 Do not block the ventilation gaps.

Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The appliance door has been opened too frequently
or a large amount of food has been put in at once.
 Only open the door when necessary and for as
short a time as possible.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
The appliance door is not properly closed.

Close the door.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
The ambient room temperature is too high. The higher
the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor
has to run.
 See the information in “Installation” – “Location”.
The refrigeration appliance was not properly installed
in the niche.
 See the information in “Installation” – “Installing
the refrigeration appliance”.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time, so the
temperature in the ap-
pliance is dropping. The temperature setting is too low.

Adjust the temperature.
The Super cool function is still switched on.
 You can switch off the Super cool function earlier
to save energy.
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. This is not a fault. The temperature is too high.

Adjust the temperature.

Check the temperature again after 24 hours.
The compressor runs
continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool-
ing is required.
