Problem

Possible cause and solution

The door to the freezer
section will not open
because it has been
opened and closed too
many times in succes-
sion.

This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening
and closing the door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait approx. 1 minute and then try again. It
should now open without force.

The floor of the refriger-
ator section is wet.

The drain hole is blocked.

Clean the condensate channel and the drain hole.

There is no acoustic
alarm although the door
has been open for a
long time.

This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been turned off
in settings mode (see “Selecting additional settings -
Acoustic signals”).

The external walls of
the appliance feel
warm.

This is not a fault. The warmth created by the evapo-
rator is used to prevent condensation.
