Relocate the appliance if necessary.

Has door just been opened? If so leave for a few
minutes to allow the air pressure to equalise.

Adjust the thermostat control knob to give correct

Important:

If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or

installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee.

Before 

contacting your local Service Force Centre, check the following points:

Low ambient operation 

During prolonged periods of low ambient temperatures,ie;10°C and lower, the compressor on single
compressor fridge freezers can remain inoperative during this time .

This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not 
calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
