CONCERN
WHAT TO DO
Compressor motor seems
to run too long . These
appliances use a variable
speed compressor, which
by design can run for long
periods of time, this is
normal
• The variable speed compressor and fan that at start up and on
warm days, runs at high speeds to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at
a lower speed, but still may not switch off. This is normal.
• It is possible that the only time the compressor and fan will stop
is when the refrigerator is defrosting which is approximately
once per day.
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

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
