7 Recommended solutions for the problems

Please review this list before calling the service. It might save you time and

money. This list includes frequent complaints that are not arising from defective

workmanship or material usage. Some of the features described here may not

exist in your product.

The refrigerator does not operate.

• Is the refrigerator properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.

• Is the fuse of the socket which your refrigerator is connected to or the main fuse

blown out? Check the fuse.

Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment (MULTIZONE, COOL

CONTROL and FLEXI ZONE).

• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly

humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers.

Leaving the door ajar. Switching the thermostat to a colder degree.

• Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.

• Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.

• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.

Compressor is not running

• Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power

failures or plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of

the refrigerator has not been balanced yet. Your refrigerator will start running

approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the service if the refrigerator does not

startup at the end of this period.

• The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting

refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.

• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that the plug is

properly fit into the socket.

• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?

• Power might be cut off.

The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.

Large refrigerators operate for a longer period of time.

• The ambient room temperature may be high. This is quite normal.

• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded

with food. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely may last for a couple of

hours longer.

• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Hot

food causes longer running of the refrigerator until they reach the safe storage

temperature.

• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm

air that has entered into the refrigerator causes the refrigerator to run for longer

periods. Open the doors less frequently.

• Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the doors

are tightly closed.

• The refrigerator is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the refrigerator

temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.

• Door seal of the fridge or freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not properly

seated. Clean or replace the seal. Damaged/broken seal causes the refrigerator

to run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature.

Freezer temperature is very low while the fridge temperature is sufficient.

• The freezer temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer

temperature to a warmer degree and check.

Fridge temperature is very low while the freezer temperature is sufficient.

less frequently.

• Door might have been left ajar; close the door completely.

• Large amount of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Wait

until the fridge or freezer reaches the desired temperature.

• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently. Cooling down of the

refrigerator completely takes time.

The operation noise increases when the refrigerator is running.

• The operating performance of the refrigerator may change due to the changes in

the ambient temperature. It is normal and not a fault.

Vibrations or noise.
