TROUBLESHOOTING

Refrigerator operation

Concern

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. 

The variable speed compressor 

and fan that at start up and on 

warm days runs at a high speed 

to provide additional cooling.  

When less cooling is required the 

compressor and fan will run at a 

lower speed.

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.

User interface will not respond

To ensure settings are not 

accidentally changed the user 

interface will go into sleep mode 

when not in use. 

Press any button to wake user 

interface.

Check that the user interface is in awake mode, refer to section “About the user interface”.
Check that the user interface is not locked, refer to section “About the user interface”.
If the user interface is frozen turn the appliance off for five minutes for the memory to clear, then 

turn back on.
Check that the user interface is not in Sabbath Mode, refer to control 

instructions. (I&W models only).

Alarms sounding

Check that all doors are fully closed.
Ensure that the over temperature alarm is not being activated by hot food placed in the freezer.
Check if the drinks timer has ended, refer control instructions.
Check if the Filter Replacement alert is activated, refer control instructions. (I&W models only)

Frost build up

Check that all doors are fully closed.
Ensure that the doors are not opened too often.
Ensure that the return air vents are not blocked with packaging.
Ensure the seals are clean and not obstructed.

Odours

The interior may need cleaning, refer to cleaning guide.
Ensure that food is stored correctly as some food, containers and wrapping 

can produce odours.
Check appliance for old or unusual food.

Lights not working

The LED lighting is designed to 

dim automatically if the door is 

left opened for more than 5 

minutes and turn off completely 

if the door is open for more than 

7 minutes. Closing the door will 

reset the timer.

The LED lighting is also 

designed to turn on gradually.

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.
Check that the user interface is not in Sabbath Mode, refer to control instructions.
Close and re-open the door.  When door has been open for 5 minutes the lights fade to 50% 

then after 7 minutes they will turn off.
