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
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. 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 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
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 outer surfaces of the appliance are warm*.
The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent
condensate from forming. This is normal.
u
10 * Depending on model and options
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 to see whether the appliance reaches the required
u
temperature by itself. If not, please contact the after sales service (see Maintenance). 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 bulb is faulty.
Change the bulb (see Maintenance).
u
If the bulb is defective, the CoolPlus function cannot be acti-
u
vated. In order to ensure that this function will work, the defective bulb should be changed at the earliest opportunity.
Interior light on half power when CoolPlus is switched on.*
This is necessary for operational reasons.
This is normal.
