Parts Meaning
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause and Remedy |
|---|---|
| Appliance does not work, display is off | - Is the appliance turned on properly? - Is the power cord properly inserted in the outlet? - Is the circuit breaker or fuse in operating condition? |
| The interior light does not come on | - Is the refrigerator compartment turned on? - Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes? |
| Loud running noise | Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjusting the adjustable feet, or adjust bottles and containers. |
| Motor seems to run too long | - Is the ambient temperature too hot? See Safety Regulations. - Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long? - A large amount of food has been added. - Unit is in SuperCool mode. Verify unit is in normal operation mode. |

| Freezer temperature display shows two dashes - - | The freezer temperature display will only show temperatures that are below freezing. When initially starting the freezer it will not be below freezing. It will take three to five hours (depending on ambient conditions) for freezing temperatures to be achieved and thus displayed numerically. This may also occur after a power failure. |
| Ice or water drops appear on the rear wall in the interior of the refrigerator compartment | This is completely normal. During the cooling process, the humidity in the refrigerator compartment will condense on the rear wall and freeze. During the compressor idle period, the ice layer will defrost. The condensate on the rear wall drains through the defrost water drain for evaporation. |
| Ice maker cannot be turned on | Is the combined refrigerator-freezer connected to the electrical outlet? |
| Ice maker is not making any ice | - Is the ice maker turned on? - Is the IceMaker drawer closed properly? - Is there enough water in the water tank? - Has the water tank been inserted correctly? |
