7 Recommended solutions for the problems
Please review this list before calling the service. It might save you time and money.
This list includes frequent complaints that are not arising from defective workmanship
or material usage. Some of the features described here may not exist in your product.
The refrigerator does not operate.
• 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 (MULTIZONE, COOL
CONTROL and 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 the 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 the plug is properly fit into
the socket.
• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?
• Power might be cut off.
14
EN
The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.
• Your new product 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.
• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm air that
has entered into the refrigerator causes the refrigerator to run for longer periods. Open
the doors less frequently.
• Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the doors are
tightly closed.
• 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.
Fridge temperature is very low while the freezer temperature is sufficient.
• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the
fridge temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Food kept in the fridge compartment drawers are freezing.
• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the
fridge temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Temperature in the fridge or freezer is very high.
• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very high degree. Fridge
adjustment has an effect on the temperature of the freezer. Change the temperature of
the fridge or freezer until the fridge or freezer temperature reaches to a sufficient level.
• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time; open them less
frequently.
• Door might have been left ajar; close the door completely.
• Large amount of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Wait until the
fridge or freezer reaches the desired temperature.
• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently. Cooling down of the refrigerator
completely takes time.
The operation noise increases when the refrigerator is running.

ambient temperature. It is normal and not a fault.
15
EN
Vibrations or noise.
• The floor is not even or it is weak. The refrigerator rocks when moved slowly. Make sure

• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time; open them less
frequently.
Humidity occurs on the outside of the refrigerator or between the doors.
• There might be humidity in the air; this is quite normal in humid weather. When the
humidity is less, condensation will disappear.
Bad odour inside the refrigerator.
• Inside of the refrigerator must be cleaned. Clean the inside of the refrigerator with a
sponge, lukewarm water or carbonated water.
