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 ambient temperature is too low for this appli-
ance.
If the ambient temperature is too low, the compres-
sor will run less frequently. This may cause the
freezer to become too warm.
 See the information in the section on “Installation –
Installation location”.
 Increase the ambient temperature.
The compressor runs
continuously.
Not a fault. To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed when less cooling is required. This
increases the compressor run time.

carefully pry them apart.
