• Is the refrigerator properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.

• Is the fuse of the socket which your refrigerator is connected to or the main fuse

blown out? Check the fuse.

Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment. (MULTI ZONE, COOL CONTROL ve FLEXI ZONE)

• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly

humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers.

Leaving the door ajar.

• Switching the thermostat to a colder degree.

• Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.

• Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.

• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.

Compressor is not running

• Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power failures or

plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the refrigerator has not been balanced yet.

• Your refrigerator will start running approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the

service if your refrigerator does not startup at the end of this period.

• The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full�automatically defrosting

refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.

• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that he plug is inserted

tightly to the wall socket.

• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made? There is a power failure. Call

your electricity supplier.

The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.

• Your new refrigerator may be wider than the previous one. This is quite normal. Large refrigerators operate for a longer period of time.

• The ambient room temperature may be high.This is quite normal.

• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded

with food. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely may last for a couple of hours longer.

• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Hot

food causes longer running of the refrigerator until they reach the safe storage temperature.

• The refrigerator is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the refrigerator

temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.

• Door seal of the fridge or freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not properly seated. Clean or replace the seal. Damaged/broken seal causes the refrigerator to

run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature.

Freezer temperature is very low while the fridge temperature is sufficient.

• The freezer temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer

temperature to a warmer degree and check.
