hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown).
Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has not been turned
to the off position.
Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the voltage
stated on the rating plate of your appliance.
MY FRIDGE FREEZER
APPEARS TO BE
PERFORMING POORLY
