Breakdown

Cause

Solution

The appliance no longer 
works

There is an interruption in the 
power supply.

- check that the plug is properly inserted in the socket
- check that the power cable is not damaged
- check that there is voltage on the socket by connecting a 
different appliance, such as a night lamp
- check that the appliance is on by setting the thermostat 
higher than 0

The interior lighting does 
not work.

The lamp is defective or the plug 
is not in the socket.

Check the solutions above or have the lamp replaced.

Temperature in the 
refrigerator is too high or 
too low

Wrong setting of the thermostat.

- turn the thermostat to a different position

The ambient temperature is 
higher or lower than the 
temperature indicated in the 
table with technical data.

The appliance is intended for operation in an 
ambient temperature indicated in the table with technical 
data supplied with the appliance. 

The appliance is located in direct 
sunlight or near a heat source.

Change the location of the appliance according to the 
information in the instruction manual.

A too large amount of hot food 
has been placed in the appliance 
at once.

Wait 72 hours until the products are frozen. The 
temperature in the appliance will return to the required 
level.

The ventilation at the rear of the 
appliance is hindered. 

Keep the appliance 10 cm away from the walls, for 
sufficient ventilation. 

The door of the refrigerator is 
opened too frequently or remains 
open for too long.

Open the door less often and/or reduce the time that the 
door remains open. 

The door is not closed properly.

Make sure the foods are placed in such a way that they do 
not hinder the door when it is being closed. 

The compressor does not work 
often enough.

Check that the ambient temperature is not lower than the 
range of the climate class. 

The door rubber is loose.

Fasten the door rubber or have it replaced. 

The appliance is working 
continuously. 

Wrong setting of the thermostat.

- turn the thermostat to a higher position

There is water in the 
lower section of the 
refrigerator.

The opening of the defrost water 
drain is clogged.

Clean the opening of the defrost water drain by means of 
the skewer.

The ventilation within the cooler 
section is hindered.

Check that the food does not make contact with the rear 
wall of the refrigerator. 

Unusual or loud noises

The appliance is not level and 
stable.

Level the appliance with the adjustable feet.

The appliance is standing against 
something.

Place the appliance in such a way that it is not standing 
against anything.

During normal use of the cooling appliance, different types of noises can occur that do not have any effect on the correct 
operation of the freezer.

Noises that can be easily remedied:

•  Noise due to the fact that the appliance is not level – position the appliance using the front adjustable feet. If necessary, 
  place soft material under the rear wheels, particular in case of a tiled floor.
•  Friction against other furniture – move the appliance.
•  Grinding of drawers or shelves – remove the shelf or drawer and then place it back.
•  Noise of colliding bottles – place the bottles apart.
Noises that can be heard during normal use of the appliance are caused by the operation of the thermostat, compressor 
(activation), cooling system (shrinkage and expansion of the material under the influence of temperature differences and 
flow of cooling liquid).
