Problem

Possible cause

Solution

 

Temperature set in the appli‐

ance is too low and the am‐

bient temperature is too

high.

Set a higher temperature.

Refer to "Control Panel"

chapter.

There is too much frost and

ice on food products in the

refrigerator.

Food products are placed

too close to the temperature

sensor.

Keep a distance between

food products and the tem‐

perature sensor (a rectangu‐

lar indent in the right wall of

the refrigerator between the
glass shelves). 

Water flows on the rear plate

of the refrigerator.

During the automatic de‐

frosting process, frost melts

on the rear plate.

This is correct.

There is too much con‐

densed water on the rear

wall of the refrigerator.

Door was opened too fre‐

quently.

Open the door only when

necessary.

 

Door was not closed com‐

pletely.

Make sure the door is closed

completely.

 

Stored food was not wrap‐

ped.

Wrap food in suitable pack‐

aging before storing it in the

appliance.

Water flows inside the refrig‐

erator.

Food products prevent the

water from flowing into the

water collector.

Make sure that food prod‐

ucts do not touch the rear

plate.

 

The water outlet is clogged.

Clean the water outlet.

Water flows on the floor.

The melting water outlet is

not connected to the evapo‐

rative tray above the com‐

pressor.

Attach the melting water out‐

let to the evaporative tray.

Temperature cannot be set. The "FROSTMATIC func‐

tion" is switched on.

Switch off "FROSTMATIC

function" manually, or wait

until the function deactivates

automatically to set the tem‐

perature. Refer to "FROST‐

MATIC function" section.

The temperature in the appli‐

ance is too low/too high.

The temperature is not set

correctly.

Set a higher/lower tempera‐

ture.

 

The door is not closed cor‐

rectly.

Refer to "Closing the door"

section.
