7.1 What to do if...

Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance is noisy. The appliance is not sup‐ ported properly. Check if the appliance stands stable. Audible or visual alarm is on. The cabinet has been re‐ cently switched on or the temperature is still too high. Refer to "Door Open Alarm/ Indicator" or "High Tempera‐ ture Alarm/Indicator". The temperature in the appliance is too high. Refer to "Door Open Alarm/ Indicator" or "High Tempera‐ ture Alarm/Indicator". A square symbol is shown instead of numbers on the temperature display. Temperature sensor prob‐ lem. Contact the nearest Author‐ ised Service Centre (the cooling system will continue to keep food products cold, but temperature adjustment will not be possible). The lamp does not work. The lamp is in stand-by mode. Close and open the door. The lamp is defective. Contact the nearest Author‐ ised Service Centre. The compressor operates continually. Temperature is set incor‐ rectly. Refer to "Operation"/"Control Panel" chapter. Many food products were put in at the same time. Wait a few hours and then check the temperature again. ENGLISH 59Problem Possible cause Solution The room temperature is too high. Refer to climate class chart on the rating plate. Food products placed in the appliance were too warm. Allow food products to cool to room temperature before storing. The COOLMATIC func‐ tion is switched on. Refer to "COOLMATIC func‐ tion". The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the COOLMATIC or after changing the tem‐ perature. This is normal, no error has occurred. The compressor starts after some time. Water flows inside the re‐ frigerator. The water outlet is clog‐ ged. Clean the water outlet. Food products prevent water from flowing into the water collector. Make sure that food prod‐ ucts do not touch the rear plate. Water flows on the floor. The melting water outlet is not connected to the evaporative tray above the compressor. Attach the melting water out‐ let to the evaporative tray. Temperature cannot be set. The FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC function is switched on. Switch off FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC manually, or wait until the function resets automatically to set the tem‐ perature. Refer to "FROST‐ MATIC or COOLMATIC function". DEMO appears on the display. The appliance is in dem‐ onstration mode. Keep the OK pressed for ap‐ proximately 10 seconds until a long sound is heard and display shuts off for a short time. The temperature in the appliance is too low/too high. The temperature regulator is not set correctly. Set a higher/lower tempera‐ ture. The food products tem‐ perature is too high. Let the food products tem‐ perature decrease to room temperature before storage. Many food products were stored at the same time. Store less food products at the same time. The COOLMATIC func‐ tion is switched on. Refer to "COOLMATIC func‐ tion". www.electrolux.com60Problem Possible cause Solution There is too much con‐ densed water on the rear wall of the refrigerator. Door was opened too fre‐ quently. Open the door only when necessary. Door was not closed com‐ pletely. Make sure the door is closed completely. Stored food was not wrapped. Wrap food in suitable pack‐ aging before storing it in the appliance. Door does not open easi‐ ly. You attempted to re-open the door immediately after closing. Wait a few seconds between closing and re-opening of the door. If the advice does not lead to the desired result, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
