15 Resolving faults on your own
High quality manufacturing processes and use of latest
cooling and freezing technology will principally ensure
trouble-free function of your appliance.
If you suspect any fault, before contacting the after-
sales service directly or via your dealer, make sure you
have observed all instructions and advice in this user
manual.
Repairs by the after-sales service, of faults that have
occurred because of non-adherence to the information
and advice given in this manual have to be charged to
the customer and are not covered by your dealer’s
guarantee.
Attention
The compressor
(M)
(also known as motor) must not
operate continuously.
It is controlled by the thermostat which you set with the
temperature control
(FIG.4)
. It switches on
automatically when the set temperature in the storage
compartment exceeds and switches off automatically
when the correct temperature is reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor – cooling
system when the compressor is switched on. This noise
is produced when the motor in the compressor operates
and also by refrigerant flowing in the cooling system
circuit. These noises are normal and do not indicate
any functional trouble.
In unheated rooms
and in cold weather condition
condensation can build up on the outer walls of the
appliance. This does not mean trouble and disappears
when the weather becomes warmer.
Calling the Customers Support Service
Call the after-sales service only, if after analysis of
possible trouble/fault factors you cannot find any cause
for the defect or do not have the means to eliminate the
trouble.
Therefore first check under
“What is when ....”
