TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
f
ixing A mAlfunCtion
A malfunction may be caused by a minor problem that you can solve yourself with
the help of the instructions below. Before calling a technician, perform the following
checks:
1.
Your freezer does not work:
Check:
•
That it is properly connected;
•
That the circuit breaker has not been tripped;
•
That the wall outlet is working properly.
2.
The freezer is too cold:
•
The temperature setting is too low.
3.
The freezer is not cold enough:
•
You may have put some hot food or a large amount of food in the freezer.
•
The door may not be properly closed or may have been left open for too long.
•
The door seals may be damaged.
•
The temperature setting may not be properly adjusted.
•
The appliance is located near a heat source.
4) The freezer door is difficult to open:
You may find it hard to open a freezer door that has just been closed. When the door
is opened, the cold air that escapes from the cabinet is replaced by air at room tem-
perature. When this warm air cools, the pressure inside decreases forming a vacuum
that makes it difficult to open the door. After a few minutes, the pressure inside the
freezer will return to normal and you can easily open the door.
If the information above does not help you resolve your specific problem, do not
attempt to repair the appliance yourself; contact your retailer's after-sales depart-
ment.
IMPORTANT: repairs to your appliance should only be performed by qualified
service technicians. Poor repairs can be hazardous to users and are not covered
by the warranty.
