Frequently Asked Questions

Problem
Possible cause and solution
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The tempera-
ture in the appliance
rises.
This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too high.
Correct the temperature setting.
Check the temperature again after 24 hours.
The food begins to thaw.
The room temperature is too low for this appliance.
If the room temperature is too low, the compressor
will run less frequently. This may cause the freezer to
become too warm.
See the “Installation location” section in the “In-
stallation information”.
Increase the room temperature.
The door to the Freezer
Zone will not open be-
cause it has been
opened and closed too
many times in succes-
sion.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening
and closing the door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait approx. 1 minute and then try again. It
should now open without force.
The compressor runs
continuously.
Not a fault. To save energy, the compressor runs at a
lower speed when less cooling is required. This in-
creases the compressor run time.
The temperature display
shows 0°F (-18°C), al-
though a higher temper-
ature is set.

to -0°F (-18°C). This guarantees that the ice maker
functions efficiently.
