Problem

Solution

The freezer doesn't work

Check that the appliance is switched on.

Check that there has not been a power cut.

Check that the plug is not faulty.

Check that the fuse has not blown.

Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance.
Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, 
try the plug of your appliance by connecting it to a socket 
which you are sure is working.

The temperature inside the 

appliance is not cold enough

Check that there is not too much food in the appliance.

Check that the thermostat is set to a suitable 
temperature.

Check that the appliance is not placed in direct sunlight, 
or too near to a heating source.

Check that the ambient temperature is within the 
operation limits of the appliance.
Are the doors of the appliance opened frequently? Once 
the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the 
room enters the appliance, especially if the humidity 
levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the 
door is opened in humid conditions the more chance of 
the build up of moisture.

The temperature within the 

appliance is too cold.

Increase the working temperature by adjusting the 
thermostat to a lower setting.

The inner surfaces of the 

appliance are wet

Caused by condensation - dry the inside of the appliance.

The outer surfaces of the 

appliance  are wet

Caused by condensation - dry the outer of the appliance 
carefully.

Excess ice or frost has built up 

inside the appliance

Check that the door has not been left open.

Check that the door gasket is clean and undamaged.
