Troubleshooting and error codes
| Fault | Possible cause | Remedial action |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature differs greatly from the set value. | The mains plug of the appliance is not in the socket properly. The fuse for the domestic supply is switched off. | In some cases it is adequate to switch off the appliance for 5 minutes. If the temperature is too high, wait a few hours and check whether the temperature has approached the set value. If the temperature is too low, check the temperature again the next day. |
| No display on the display panel. | The mains plug of the appliance is not in the socket properly. The fuse for the domestic supply is switched off. | Check whether the power is on, the fuse must be switched on. |
| "E" is indicated on the display panel. | Electronics module defective. | Call customer service. |
| Warning signal sounds and the temperature display on the freezer compartment flashes. | The freezer compartment is too warm! Frozen food is at risk!
|
Press the "alarm/lock" button to switch off the warning signal and the flashing display. The warmest temperature reached in the freezer compartment is indicated on the temperature display of the freezer section for 10 seconds. Note: Frozen food which has started thawing or which has thawed can be refrozen if meat and fish were above +3 °C for not more than one day or other frozen food was above +3 °C for not more than three days. |
| The interior light is not functioning. | The light switch for the freezer or refrigerator compartment is sticking. The light (LED) is defective. | Check whether the light switch can move. See chapter "Light". |
| The appliance becomes slightly louder for a brief period. | Not a fault! Your appliance is designed to save energy. Under certain conditions (e.g. activation of the Super function) the appliance must work harder for a brief period and therefore becomes slightly louder. | N/A |
| Appliance has no refrigerating capacity. The interior light is not functioning. | Power failure; the fuse has been switched off; the mains plug has not been inserted properly. Appliance door opened frequently. | Check whether the power is on, the fuse must be switched on. Do not open the door unnecessarily. |
| The refrigerating unit is switching on more frequently and for longer. | Large quantities of fresh food are being frozen. The ventilation openings have been covered. | Do not exceed max. freezing capacity. Remove obstacles. |
| The temperature in the refrigerator or freezer compartment is too cold. | Temperature has been set too low. | Select a warmer temperature (see "Setting the temperature"). |
| The frozen food is frozen solid. | N/A | Loosen frozen food with a blunt object. Do not use a knife or pointed object. |
