Question 1

How to turn off or put a VESTFROST CI 397 R refrigerator-freezer in standby?

Accepted Answer

To turn off your VESTFROST CI 397 R refrigerator-freezer, you have two options:

Complete shutdown: Set the thermostat to the OFF or 0 position (depending on your model). The compressor will stop, and the appliance will cease cooling.
Standby mode: Gradually lower the temperature by turning the thermostat knob to lower values for a gradual shutdown.

If you wish to turn off the appliance for an extended period (maintenance, moving), empty it completely, clean it, let it dry, and then set the thermostat to OFF. Leave the door open to avoid odors.

Question 2

How to completely disable the eco mode of the VESTFROST M 180?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can completely disable the eco mode of your VESTFROST M 180. The eco mode is controlled by a dedicated button on the electronic control panel.

To disable eco mode:

Simply press the ECO button on the control panel to turn it off. The temperature will then return to your normal setting defined with the ▲/▼ buttons.

Important to remember:

In eco mode, the thermostat raises the set point to reduce energy consumption - useful for prolonged inactivity periods
Eco mode automatically activates after 3 hours if the door remains closed, but it stops immediately at the first door opening
You can manually disable eco mode at any time by pressing the ECO button again
Your temperature settings are automatically preserved in case of a power outage

Question 3

Why is the back wall of my refrigerator freezing?

Accepted Answer

The freezing of the back wall of a refrigerator is generally caused by one of the following reasons:

Main Causes

Obstructions in the air circulation system: The air circulation vents, usually located at the back and bottom of the refrigerator, may be blocked by food or accumulated frost. This reduces air circulation and concentrates the cold in that area.
Door seal issue: If the door seal is damaged or does not close properly, moisture accumulates and freezes on the back wall.
Temperature setting too low: Check that the thermostat is not set to an excessive temperature for your refrigerator.

Solutions

Inspect and clean the air vents - clear any obstructions or accumulated frost.
Ensure that the door closes tightly and that the seal is not damaged or sticky.
Adjust the thermostat to a less cold temperature and observe after a few hours.
Make sure the back of the appliance is not pressed against the wall - leave a few centimeters of space for air circulation.

If the problem persists after these checks, contact a VESTFROST authorized repairer.

Question 4

What does the red light that comes on in eco mode on the freezer mean?

Accepted Answer

The red light that comes on in the eco section (energy-saving mode) of the VF 20186 NoFrost freezer generally indicates that the eco function is activated and working properly.

This light confirms that the appliance is optimizing its energy consumption by reducing the cooling power. This means that your freezer is operating in energy-efficient mode and maintaining an appropriate temperature while consuming less electricity.

If the light comes on and you have other symptoms (insufficient temperature, excessive frost buildup), then consult the manual's recommendations regarding cooling settings or check that the freezer door closes properly.
