Possible Cause

mains socket.
• The appliance is in the defrosting
cycle.
• The indoor or outdoor tempera-
ture is too high.
• The appliance has been off power
for a period of time.
• A door/drawer of the appliance is
not tightly closed.
• The door/drawer has been opened
too frequently or for too long.
• The temperature setting for the
freezer compartment is too low.
• The door/drawer gasket is dirty,
worn, cracked or mismatched.
• The required air circulation is not
guaranteed.
• The inside of the refrigerator
needs cleaning.
• Food of strong odour is stored in
the refrigerator.
Possible Solution
• Connect the mains plug.
• This is normal for an automatic
defrosting.
• In this case, it is normal for the ap-
pliance to run longer.

the appliance to cool down com-
pletely.
• Close the door/drawer and ensure
the appliance is located on a level
ground and there is no food or
container jarring the door.
• Do not open the door/drawer too
frequently.
• Set the temperature higher until a
satisfactory refrigerator tempera-
ture is obtained. It takes 24 hours
for the refrigerator temperature
to become stable.
• Clean the door/drawer gasket or
replace them by the customer
service.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Clean the inside of the refrigera-
tor.
• Wrap the food thoroughly.
