Symptom

Possible Cause

Remedy

Heavy build up of frost,
possibly also on the door
seal.

Door seal is not air tight
(possibly after reversing
the door).

Carefully warm the leaking
sections of the door seal
with a hair dryer (on a
cool setting). At the same
time shape the warmed
door seal by hand such
that it sits correctly.

The compressor starts after
a period of time.

This is normal, no error has
occurred.

The compressor does not
start immediately after
changing the temperature
setting.

Important: regularly check on the warning light to ensure that the
storage temperature is being maintained.

Noises during Operation

Humming

As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.

Bubbling/Splashing

this noise can be heard for a short time.
