The temperature does not drop below 10°C

Question

Accepted Answer

If the temperature of your ZANUSSI ZBA 6160 A refrigerator does not drop sufficiently (stuck at 10°C for example), here’s how to diagnose and resolve the issue:

Check the thermostat setting

Your appliance has a manual thermostat with 6 cooling levels plus an off position. The setting "1" is the warmest and "6" is the coldest. If you are currently at a low level, turn the knob towards 6 to increase the cooling. The manual generally recommends a mid-range setting, but to achieve a temperature between 3-5°C (optimal for food preservation), a higher level may be necessary.

Check the seals and the door

Ensure that the door closes completely and without play
Inspect the insulation strip (seal) all around the door - it should not be damaged, worn, or dirty
Clean the seal with a damp cloth if necessary

Free up air circulation

Make sure that the ventilation openings are not blocked
Do not overcrowd food - this prevents the circulation of cold air
Leave a free space between food and the inner walls

Check external conditions

The appliance automatically regulates its temperature according to:

The ambient temperature of the room (if it is very high, the cooling will be limited)
The quantity and initial temperature of the stored food
The frequency of door openings

If after these checks the problem persists, there may be a malfunction of the compressor or thermostat requiring technical intervention.
