Problem
The compressor runs
continuously.
The compressor is
switching on more fre‐
quently and for longer
periods of time, so the
temperature in the ap‐
pliance is dropping.
Cause and remedy
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool‐
ing is required.
The ventilation gaps in the housing unit have been
covered or become too dusty.
 Do not block the ventilation gaps.
 Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The doors have been opened too frequently, or a
large amount of fresh food has been placed inside
and/or frozen at the same time.
 Only open the doors when necessary and for as
short a time as possible.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.
The doors are not properly closed. A thick layer of ice
may have formed in the freezer.
 Close the appliance doors.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.
If a thick layer of ice has formed, it will reduce effi‐
ciency and increase the energy consumption.
 Defrost the appliance and clean it.
The ambient temperature is too high. The higher the
room temperature, the longer the compressor will run
for.
 See "Installation - Location".
The appliance was not properly installed in the niche.
 See "Installing the appliance".
