• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door.

Highly humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open

containers. Leaving the door ajar. Switching the thermostat to a colder

• Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.

• Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.

• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.

Compressor is not running

• Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power

failures or plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling

system of the refrigerator has not been balanced yet. Your refrigerator will

start running approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the service if the

refrigerator does not startup at the end of this period.

• The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically

defrosting refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.

• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that the plug is

for longer periods. Open the doors less frequently.

• Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the

doors are tightly closed.

• The refrigerator is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the refrigerator

temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.

• Door seal of the fridge or freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not

properly seated. Clean or replace the seal. Damaged/broken seal causes

the refrigerator to run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the

current temperature.

Freezer temperature is very low while the fridge temperature is sufficient.

• The freezer temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the

freezer temperature to a warmer degree and check.
