Smeg FR298A manual Is There a Problem?, Refrigerator and the freezer do not cool properly

Is There a Problem?

The refrigerator does not function.

Have you checked whether:

•The main switch for the electricity to the apartment or home has been turned off;

•The plug is properly inserted in the outlet;

•The outlet is adequate; try inserting the plug into another outlet in the room.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool properly.

Have you checked whether:

•The doors do not close well or the seals are faulty;

•The doors are left open too long;

•The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting;

•The refrigerator or freezer is overfilled.

The food in the refrigerator becomes too cold.

Have you checked whether:

•The thermostat knob is on the proper setting;

•The food is in contact with the back wall - which is the coldest part.

The motor runs continuously.

Have you checked whether

•The doors are not closed well or have remained open too long;

•The ambient temperature is too high;

•The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting.

The appliance makes too much noise.

The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the compressor is not running (this is not a defect).

Have you checked whether:

•The refrigerator is level.

•The appliance was installed between cabinets or objects that vibrate and make noise.

There is water on the bottom of the refrigerator.

Have you checked whether:

•The hole for draining the water from the frost is clogged (see fig. 3).

If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre and inform them of: the type of problem, the abbreviation of the model name (Mod.) and the relative numbers (S/N) writ- ten on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper (see examples in the figures below).
