Breakdown
Cause
Solution
The appliance
no longer works
There is an interruption
in the power supply.
- check that the plug is properly inserted in the socket
- check that the power cable is not damaged
- check that there is voltage on the socket by connecting
a different appliance, such as a night lamp
- check that the appliance is on by setting the thermostat
higher than 0
The interior lighting
does not work.
The lamp is defective or the plug
is not in the socket.
Check the solutions above or have the lamp replaced.
Temperature in the larder
is too high or too low
Wrong setting of the thermostat.
- turn the thermostat to a different position
The ambient temperature is
higher or lower than the
temperature indicated in the
table with technical data.
The appliance is intended for operation in an
ambient temperature indicated in the table with technical
data supplied with the appliance.
The appliance is located in direct
sunlight or near a heat source.
Change the location of the appliance according
to the information in the instruction manual.
The ventilation at the rear of the
appliance is hindered.
Keep the appliance 10 cm away from the walls,
for sufficient ventilation.
The door of the larder is opened
too frequently or remains open
for too long.
Open the door less often and/or reduce the time that
the door remains open.
The door is not closed properly.
Make sure the foods are placed in such a way that they
do not hinder the door when it is being closed.
The compressor does not work
often enough.
Check that the ambient temperature is not lower than
the range of the climate class.
The door rubber is loose.
Fasten the door rubber or have it replaced.
The appliance is working
continuously.
Wrong setting of the thermostat.
- turn the thermostat to a higher position
There is water
in the lower section
of the larder.
The opening of the defrost water
drain is clogged.
Clean the opening of the defrost water drain by means
of the skewer.
The ventilation within the cooler
section is hindered.
Check that the food does not make contact with the rear
wall of the refrigerator.
Unusual or loud noises
The appliance is not level
and stable.
Level the appliance with the adjustable feet.
The appliance is standing against
something.
Place the appliance in such a way that it is not standing
against anything.
During normal use of the cooling appliance, different types of noises can occur that do not have any effect on the correct
operation of the larder.
Noises that can be easily remedied:
• Noise due to the fact that the appliance is not level – position the appliance using the front adjustable feet. If necessary,
place soft material under the rear wheels, particular in case of a tiled floor.
• Friction against other furniture – move the appliance.
• Grinding of drawers or shelves – remove the shelf or drawer and then place it back.
• Noise of colliding bottles – place the bottles apart.
Noises that can be heard during normal use of the appliance are caused by the operation of the thermostat, compressor
(activation), cooling system (shrinkage and expansion of the material under the influence of temperature differences
and flow of cooling liquid).
