FAULTS
Faults table
When you have any doubts about whether your appliance is working properly you should not
immediately assume that it is defective. We recommend that you should in any case check the
points in the following table.
Symptom
The refrigerator emits a slight
odour when used for the first
time.
The appliance does nothing;
the lighting is not lit.
The alarm indicator is on.
Water runs from the
refrigerator.
Possible cause
New appliance.
Plug not in socket.
Thermostat off.
The door seals are dirty or the
seals are damaged.
Door seals not installed
correctly.
The appliance is switched on
for the first time or switched
on from standby.
The door has been opened
for too long or too frequently.
The door does not seal
properly (dirt on the seal, the
door is crooked, the seal is
damaged, etc.).
Too much fresh food has
been put in at the same time.
The appliance has been
switched on again (for
example after a lengthy
power failure).
Defrost water drain clogged.
Solution
This is normal and disappears
when the appliance starts
cooling.
Insert the plug in the socket.
Adjust the thermostat to the
correct setting.
Clean the door seals. Call
the service centre if the door
seals are damaged.
When changing the direction
of rotation of the door, the
door seal must be turned
180°. Check if this is correct.
If after 24 hours the alarm
indicator is still on, contact
the service department. The
appliance operates in the
safe mode until it has been
repaired.
Clean defrost water drain (see
"Defrosting the appliance").
