Possible cause

The light is defective.
When the appliance is not used for
some time, the display on the fascia
switches to energy saving mode.
Power failure;
the fuse has been switched off;
the mains plug has not been
inserted properly.
Appliance opened frequently.
The ventilation openings have been
covered.
Large quantities of fresh food are
being frozen.
The evaporator (refrigeration gener-
ator) in the No Frost system is cov-
ered in thick ice and can no longer
be defrosted fully automatically.
Remedial action
In some cases it is adequate to switch off
the appliance for 5 minutes.
If the temperature is too high wait a few hours
and check whether the temperature has
approached the set value.
If the temperature is too low check
the temperature again the next day.
Check whether the light switch can move.
(See chapter "Light".)
As soon as the appliance is again used, e.g. the
door is opened, the display switches back to nor-
mal illumination.
Connect mains plug. Check whether the power
is on, check the fuses.
Do not open the appliance unnecessarily.
Remove obstacles.
Do not exceed max. freezing capacity.
To defrost the evaporator, remove the frozen
food with the compartments, insulate well and
store in a cool location.
Switch off the appliance and move it away from
the wall. Leave the appliance door open.
After approx. 20 min. the condensation begins to
run into the evaporation pan, at the rear of the
appliance.
To prevent the evaporation pan from overflowing
in this case, mop up the condensation with
a sponge.
The evaporator is defrosted when the water
stops running into the evaporation pan. Clean
the interior. Switch the appliance back on again.
