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.
u
Switch on the appliance.
→
The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
u
Check power plug.
→
The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
u
Check fuse.
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.
u
This is normal in energy-saving models.
→
SuperFrost is activated.
u
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the
food. This is normal.
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.
u
The flashing is normal.
Excessive noise.
→
Speed-controlled* compressors may produce varying
running noise due to different speed steps.
u
The sound is normal.
A bubbling and gurgling noise.
→
This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger-
ation circuit.
u
The sound is normal.
A quiet clicking noise.
→
The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit
(motor) automatically switches on or off.
u
The sound is normal.
A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration
unit (the motor) switches on.
→
The refrigeration increases automatically when the Super-
Frost, function is activated, fresh food has just been placed
in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while.
u
The sound is normal.
→
The ambient temperature is too high.
u
Solution: (see 1.2)
A low hum.
→
The sound is produced by air flow noise of the fan.
u
The sound is normal.
Vibratory noise.
→
The appliance is not fixed to the ground. The running of the
cooling unit therefore makes objects and adjacent furniture
vibrate.
u
Adjust appliance via the height-adjustable feet.
u
Move bottles and containers apart.
The SuperFrost button flashes together with the tempera-
ture display.
→
There is a fault.
u
Contact the customer service. (see Maintenance).
All LEDs are illuminated in the refrigerator compartment
temperature display.
→
Demo mode is activated.
u
Please contact the after sales service. (see Maintenance).
The outside surfaces of the appliance are warm.
→
The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent
condensate from forming.
u
This is normal.
The temperature is not cold enough.
→
The door of the appliance is not properly closed.
u
Close the door of the appliance.
→
Insufficient ventilation.
u
Clear ventilation grilles.
→
The ambient temperature is too high.
u
Solution: (see 1.2) .
→
The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long.
u
Wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature
itself. If not, contact the customer service. (see Mainte-
nance).
→
Too much fresh food was placed inside without SuperFrost.
u
Solution: (see 5.4.4)
→
The appliance is too close to a source of heat (stove, heater
etc).
u
Change the position of the appliance or the source of heat.
The interior light is not on.
→
The appliance is not switched on.
u
Switch on the appliance.
→
The door was open longer than 15 min.
u
The interior light automatically switches off if the door has
been open for about 15 min.
→
If the interior light is not on but the temperature display is lit,
the bulb is faulty.
u
Change the bulb. (see Maintenance).
8 Decommissioning
