WHAT TO DO
Appliance will not run
It is normal for the freezer
fan not to operate during
the automatic defrost cycle,
or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is
switched on.
Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the
fuse has not blown.
The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.
Compressor motor seems to
run too long
At normal room temperatures,
expect your motor to run about
40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, expect it to
run even more often.
Ensure that the doors are not held open
Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed
inside the appliance.
Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it
or when adjusting to temperature setting changes.
The exterior of the appliance is
warm or hot to touch
This is normal because the
appliance transfers heat from
the inside out through the
outer panels and the divider
between the doors.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the
section “Installing your new appliance”.
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may
even feel hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.

accidentally changed the user
interface will go into sleep
mode when not in use. Press
