The refrigerator compartment is not
sufficiently cold:
•The thermostat is set at too high a
temperature.
• The door is being opened too often or
for too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The room temperature is too high.
The temperature inside the refrigerator
compartment is too cold and the foodstuffs
are freezing:
• The thermostat is set at too low a
temperature.
• Food not contained in suitable containers
or bags.
• Fruit and vegetables might be too wet.
• Foodstuffs placed against the rear wall
of the refrigerator compartment.
Temperature inside freezer compartment
not low enough to freeze foods properly:
•The thermostat is set at too high a
temperature.
• The door is being opened too often or
for too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty.
Clean or replace it.
• The food to be frozen contains large
quantities of sugar.
Excessive ice has built up inside the freezer
compartment:
• The thermostat is set at too low a
temperature.
• The room temperature is too high.
• The door is being opened too often or
for too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty.

• Hot foods have been placed inside the
freezer compartment.
Doors are hard to open just after closing:
• If you attempt to open the door again just
after closing it (especially the freezer
door), considerable strength is required.
This is due to the vacuum created by the
cooling of the warm air which has
entered the freezer.
The doors are misaligned:
• Check that the appliance is level.
• Level the appliance using its feet.
