TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Possible Causes & Solution
• Check that the appliance is plugged into the mains
socket properly and that the outlet is switched on.
• Check the fuse is not blown.
• Check the circuit breaker is not tripped.
• Try adjusting the temperature control knob to a
colder position.
• Re-adjust the feet to ensure the appliance is level.
• Check that the appliance is not touching the wall or
other objects. Move the appliance slightly.
• Check that a component, e.g. a pipe, on the rear of
the appliance is not touching another part of the
appliance or the wall. If necessary, carefully bend
the component out of the way.
• Turn the temperature control knob to a colder
setting and allow several hours for the temperature
to stabilize.
• Door is kept open too long or is opened too
frequently. Warm air enters the refrigerator every
time the door is opened. Open the door less often.
• Check that the door is closed completely.
• Ensure that the door gasket does not seal properly.
• A large amount of warm or hot food might have
been stored recently. Wait until the refrigerator has
reached its set temperature.
