and the temperature in the appliance drops.
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The compressor is
turning on more
frequently and for
longer periods.
The ventilation slits in the
housing unit have been
covered or become too
dusty.
^
Do not block the
ventilation slits.
^
Clean the ventilation slits
on a regular basis.
The door has been opened
too frequently, or a large
amount of food has been
put in at once.
^
Only open the door when
necessary and for as short
a time as possible.
After a while the temperature
will return to normal by itself.
The door is not properly
closed.
A thick layer of ice may
have developed in the
freezer section.
^
Close the door.
After a while the temperature
will return to normal by itself.
If a thick layer of ice has
formed, it will decrease the
cooling capacity and
increase the energy
consumption.
^
Defrost the freezer section
and clean it.
The room is too warm. The
higher the room
temperature, the longer the
compressor has to run.
