• Make sure the air ducts inside the compartment are not blocked and thus
preventing the circulation of air.
• Make sure food is properly packaged. Dry any wet food containers before
placing them in the appliance.
• Make sure the doors are not opened too frequently. When the door is
opened, the moisture contained in the room air enters the appliance. The
more often the door is opened, the faster moisture accumulates, especially
if the room itself is very humid.
• If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to accumulate inside the
appliance.
• This is normal in hot and humid weather. The pan can even be half full.
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that water does not spill from the pan.
• Are the appliance controls correctly adjusted?
• Has a large amount of food been placed in the appliance?
• Make sure the doors are not opened too frequently and check that the
doors close properly.
• Make sure the air ducts inside the compartment are not blocked and thus
preventing the circulation of cold air.
• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is working.
• Make sure no food packages are blocking the door.
• Make sure the inside parts or the automatic ice-maker are not incorrectly
positioned.
• Make sure the door seals are not dirty or sticky.
• Make sure the appliance is level.
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of your home’s
electrical system?
• Is the power cable plugged into a socket powered with the right voltage?
• Is the lamp burnt?
• Has the freezer had enough time to become cold? With a new appliance
this may take overnight.
• Is the automatic ice-maker ON/OFF button set to ON?
• Is water reaching the automatic ice-maker? Is the water cock open? The
filter may be clogged or not correctly installed. Firstly, check the filter
installation instructions to make sure the filter is correctly fitted and not
clogged. If installation or clogging is not the problem, call qualified
personnel or a technician.
• Is the freezer compartment door closed?
• Is the ice bucket correctly installed?
• Are the ice cubes stuck because the ice dispenser has not been used for
some time? Shake the ice bucket to separate the cubes and increase the
holding capacity. It is advisable to throw away the old ice cubes and make
new ice.
• Has the ice dispenser lever been pressed for too long? Wait about 3
minutes for the dispenser motor to reset.
