Cause/Solution
•
Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that the appliance
is switched on.
The compressor is operating for a longer time at low capacity (low energy
consumption / high efficiency). This is the most efficient form of operation.
The following factors can also influence the appliance's operation:
•
The ambient temperature is too high.
•
The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
•
The door is not closed properly.
•
The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is
misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).
•
Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
•
Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser.
Check that the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the
separate installation instructions).
•
The sensor in the refrigerator is blocked by fresh food. Make sure that
air can circulate freely around the sensor (not applicable to all models).
•
The ambient temperature is too high.
•
The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
•
The door is not closed properly.
•
The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is
misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).
•
Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
•
Do not place warm food in the refrigerator.
•
Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser.
Check that the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the
separate installation instructions).

The freezer compartment has not been defrosted periodically. Defrost
the freezer compartment to remove the ice.
