Problem Cause and remedy
The compressor runs
continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool-
ing is required.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time, so the
temperature in the ap-
pliance is dropping.
The ventilation gaps in the housing unit have been
covered or become too dusty.
 Do not block the ventilation gaps.
 Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The appliance door and the freezer compartment
door have been opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been placed inside and/or
frozen at the same time.
 Only open the appliance door or freezer compart-
ment door when necessary and for as short a time
as possible.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.
The appliance door and/or freezer compartment door
are not properly closed.
A thick layer of ice may have formed in the freezer
compartment.
 Close the door.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.
If a thick layer of ice has formed, it will reduce effi-
ciency and increase the energy consumption.
 Defrost the freezer compartment and clean it.
The ambient temperature is too high. The higher the
room temperature, the longer the compressor will run
for.
