without resistance at one or more points.
■ Heavy ice formation on the internal walls of the
freezer compartment (see "Cleaning and care")
■ Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or is
it
sited too close to a heat source (stove, radiator etc.)
Protect the
appliance
check distance from
board between appliance and heat source. (see
"Selecting installation location")
■ Is it filled with an excessive quantity of fresh food
■ Is the aeration and venting ok, is the ventilation grille
covered or is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the
rear outside wall of the appliance laden with dust?
c) The temperature in the fridge compartment is too

Set the temperature controller to a lower setting
■
Check
whether the freezer compartment door is
correctly closed
