8. TROUBLEShOOTING GUIDE

8.1. BEFORE CONTACTING AFTER-SALES SERVICE…

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

The appliance is not working:

•  Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper 

voltage?

•   Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the 

electrical system in your home?

If there is water in the defrost pan:

•  This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half 

full. Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not 

overflow.

If the edges of the appliance 

cabinet, which come in contact with 

the door seal, are warm to the touch:

•  This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is 

running.

If the light does not work:

•  Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the 

electrical system in your home?

•   Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper 

voltage?

•   In case the LEDs are broken the user must call the Service for 

exchange of the same type available only at our After-sales 

Service Centers or authorized dealers.

If the motor seems to run too much:

•   Motor running time depends on different things: number of door 

openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting 

of the temperature controls.

•  Is the condenser (back the appliance) free of dust and fluff?

•   Are the door properly closed?

•   Are the door seals properly fitted?

•   On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs 

longer.

•   If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large 

amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in 

order to cool down the interior of the appliance.

If the appliance temperature is too 

high:

•  Are the appliance controls correctly set?

•   Has a large amount of food been added to the appliance?

•   Check that the door is not opened too often.

•   Check that the door close properly.

If the doors do not open and close 

properly:

•  Check that food packages are not blocking the door.

•   Check that the internal parts or automatic ice maker are not out of 

position.

•   Check that the door seals are not dirty or sticky.

•   Ensure the appliance is level.
