7 Malfunction

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a handling error. In this case you will have to be charged for the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
Appliance does not work.
The appliance is not switched on.
→
Switch on the appliance.
u
The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
→
Check power plug.
u
The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
→
Check fuse.
u
The compressor runs for a long time.
The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is
→
needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved. This is normal in energy-saving models.
u
SuperFrost is activated.
→
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the
u
food. This is normal.
A LED on the bottom rear of the appliance (at the compressor) flashes regularly every 15 seconds*.
The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED.
→
The flashing is normal.
u
Excessive noise.
Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated*
→
compressors can generate different running noises. The sound is normal.
u
A bubbling and gurgling noise.
This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger-
→
ation circuit. The sound is normal.
u
A quiet clicking noise.
The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit
→
(motor) automatically switches on or off.
Malfunction
The sound is normal.
u
A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on.
The refrigeration increases automatically when the Super-
→
Frost, function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. The sound is normal.
u
The ambient temperature is too high.
→
Solution: (see 1.2)
u
A low hum.
The sound is produced by air flow noise of the fan.
→
The sound is normal.
u
Vibratory noise.
The appliance is not fixed to the ground. The running of the
→
cooling unit therefore makes objects and adjacent furniture vibrate.
Adjust appliance via the height-adjustable feet.
u
Move bottles and containers apart.
u
The SuperFrost button flashes together with the tempera­ture display.
There is a fault.
→
Contact the customer service. (see Maintenance).
u
All LEDs are illuminated in the refrigerator compartment temperature display.
Demo mode is activated.
→
Please contact the after sales service. (see Maintenance).
u
The outer surfaces of the appliance are warm*.
The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent
→
condensate from forming. This is normal.
u
The temperature is not cold enough.
The door of the appliance is not properly closed.
→
Close the door of the appliance.
u
Insufficient ventilation.
→
Clear ventilation grilles.
u
The ambient temperature is too high.
→
Solution: (see 1.2) .
u
The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long.
→
Wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature
u
itself. If not, contact the customer service. (see Mainte­nance). Too much fresh food was placed inside without SuperFrost.
→
Solution: (see 5.4.4)
u
The appliance is too close to a source of heat (stove, heater
→
etc). Change the position of the appliance or the source of heat.
u
The interior light is not on.
The appliance is not switched on.
→
Switch on the appliance.
u
The door was open longer than 15 min.
→
The interior light automatically switches off if the door has
u
been open for about 15 min. If the interior light is not on but the temperature display is lit,
→
the bulb is faulty. Change the bulb. (see Maintenance).
