8. TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

PROBABLE SOLUTION

Noisy during operation

-  See “Noises during operation” 

section

The compressor starts to function too 
often or functions continuously:

-  insufficient cooling of the 

compressor and the condenser:

-  check that the back of the freezer 

is properly ventilated as indicated 
in section “3.1 Choice of location” 
and that the condenser is not too 
dirty;

- increase 

in 

surrounding 

temperature;

-  frequent or prolonged door 

opening;

-  freezer loaded with too many 

fresh foods

-  freeze less food in one go;

The compressor does not function:

-  power cable not connected to the 

mains;  

-  connect the power cable;

-  socket not providing any 

electricity.  

-  contact your electricity supply 

company

Insufficient cooling:

-  Internal temperature setting too 

low (corresponds to a higher 
temperature inside the freezer);

-  Adjust the internal temperature 

using the button.

-  frequent or prolonged door 

opening;

-  open the door less frequently and 

for as little time as possible;

-  the door does not close properly

-  check that the food packages are 

arranged properly in the drawers 
and are not preventing the door 
from closing properly; also check 
that the freezer is properly level on 
the floor;

-  the door does not close 

hermetically;

-  check that the seal is closing 

properly and is not damaged.

- increase 

in 

surrounding 

temperature.

Problems opening the door 
immediately after it has been closed:

-  if you try to reopen the door 

immediately after it has been 
closed, you will need to exert 
considerable force. This is due to 
the vacuum created by the cooling 
of the warm air which has entered 
the freezer.
