Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee.
Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, check the following points:
Low room temperature operation
During prolonged periods of low room temperatures,ie;10°C and lower, the compressor on single compressor
fridge freezer can remain inoperative during this time .
11
This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not
calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
During a normal night time period of approximately 8 hours a traditional fridge freezer can normally maintain the
frozen food temperature but if the appliance is left for a longer period in a low ambient temperature the freezer
will defrost .
If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Service Force Centre.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a
charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for any in-guarantee service calls.
