Check power plug.
→ The fuse of the wall socket is not in
order.
u
Check fuse.
The compressor
runs for a long
time.
→ The compressor switches to a
low speed when little cold is
needed. Although the running time
is increased as a result, energy is
saved.
u
This is normal in energy-saving models.
A LED on the
bottom rear of
the appliance (at
the compressor)
flashes regularly
every 15 seconds*.
→ The inverter is equipped with a
diagnostic LED.
u
The flashing is normal.
Excessive noise.
→ Due to the various speed steps,
speed-regulated* compressors can
generate different running noises.
u
The sound is normal.
A bubbling and
gurgling noise.
→ This noise comes from the refrig‐
erant flowing in the refrigeration
circuit.
u
The sound is normal.
A quiet clicking
noise.
