5.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator

6. WHAT TO DO IF...

WARNING!
Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or com-
petent person must do the trou-
bleshooting that is not in this man-
ual.
Problem
The appliance does
not operate. The
lamp does not oper-
ate.
The lamp does not
work.
The compressor op-
erates continually.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a trough into a spe-
cial container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food in-
side. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into
the drain hole.
Possible cause
The appliance is switched
off.
The mains plug is not con-
nected to the mains sock-
et correctly.
The appliance has no
power. There is no voltage
in the mains socket.
The lamp is in stand-by.
The lamp is defective.
The temperature is not set
correctly.
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).
Solution
Switch on the appliance.
Connect the mains plug to
the mains socket correctly.
Connect a different electri-
cal appliance to the mains
socket.
Contact a qualified electri-
cian.
Close and open the door.
Refer to "Replacing the
lamp".
Set a higher temperature.
