TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE / AFTER -
SALES SERVICE
Some noises are normal when the appliance is operating
Before contacting After-Sales Service...
Operation problems are often due to minor causes that can be found and fixed
without using any tools.
The appliance is not working
• Is the power cord damaged?
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of your home's electrical system?
• Check that the thermostat setting is not on "•"
• Check that the socket is not inadequate. To make this check, connect another appliance to the socket
and verify that it works.
Water collects in the bottom of the refrigerator compartment:
• Is the defrost water drain blocked?
There is water in the defrost drain pan:
• This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level
so that water does not spill from the pan.
If the edges of the appliance cabinet, which come in contact with the door seal, are warm to
the touch:
• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.
If the light does not work:
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of your home's electrical system?
• Is the power cable plugged into a socket powered with the right voltage?
• Has the light bulb burnt out?
Burnt-out lamp:
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains.
• See the section titled "How to replace the light bulb".
If the motor seems to run too much:
• Is the condenser free of dust and fluff?
• Are the doors properly closed?
• Are the door seals properly fitted?
• On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.
