Cause/Remedy
• Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is
switched on.
• Ambient temperature too high.
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket,
sagged door, check gasket sealing, etc...).
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
• Refrigerator sensor (A) is crammed with fresh food. Free the
sensor and allow air to circulate around it (certain models
only).
• Check air circulation for suffi cient cooling of the compressor,
and clean the condenser.
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Inserting hot food in the refrigerator.
• Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the
refrigerator.
• Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or
damaged.
• Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection
groove.
• Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.
• Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket,
sagged door, damaged gasket, etc...).
• Excessively long power failure.
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
• If you attempt to open the immediately closed door of the
freezer you may experience resistance. This happens
because certain quantity of cold air escapes from the
appliance through the open door and is replaced by warm
ambient air. Cooling of such air creates negative pressure
(vacuum) and suction, which prevents easy opening of the
door. This is normalized after several minutes and you can
open the door with ease.
