Noises, inconveniences or minor breakdowns
PROBLEM
Frost forms inside your
appliance
The external walls are warm
Drops of water appear on your
appliance's external wall
Droplets of water or ice forms
on the appliance's rear wall
Certains foods do not freeze
completely
Droplets stagnate at the back
of the appliance
Frozen meat has white streaks
The door is difficult to open
The light inside the
refrigerator is out
ADVICE
- be careful not to open your appliance's door too often, and not
to leave it open
- this is quite normal. It stops condensation forming on the outside
of your appliance
-When your home's heating is not on (for example in spring and
autumn) and the ambient air is humid,some condensation may
form on your appliance's outside walls. This is not dangerous at all
and your appliance continues to operate quite correctly.
- this is quite normal. This is a particularly cold and damp area of
the appliance and droplets of water and frost can form here when
your appliance is operating normally. This frost is regularly
eliminated during your refrigerators automatic defrosting cycles.
- this is quite normal for food that contains a lot of sugar,fat or
alcohol not to freeze completely and to remain partially soft (ice
cream, fruit juice,etc.)
- check that the drain hole is not blocked. If it is, release it with a
stick or a metal wire as shown in the section in " Ongoing
maintenance of your appliance "
- check that your machine's thermostat is correctly set and is not
at too low a temperature (see the section on " Setting your
refrigerator's temperature "
- check that you haven't kept this meat too long in the freezer
using the table you will find in the " Food Freezing Guide " section
- it is normal for the door to offer some resistance to being
opened,particularly when you have just shut it: a slight
underpressure forms in your appliance to ensure the door seals
perfectly. All you have to do is wait a few seconds before re-
opening
- check that your appliance is connected to the electrical supply
- check that the circuit-breaker for your house has not cut out and
that the fuse has not blown or been unscrewed
- check that the bulb has not burnt out, and refer to the section
"changing the light bulb ".
