Possible fault areas
- Blocked internal air channels
- Dirty grille or condenser
- Door seal leak
- Fan, sensor or sealed-system issue
The order does not confirm a failed part. Different causes can create the same symptom.
Refrigerator not cooling
Temperature rises despite operation, or the fresh-food section is warm while the freezer works.
Safety rule: stop when there is smoke, sparking, a burning smell, electric-shock signs, an active leak, cracked hob glass or suspected gas. Disconnect only when it is safe to do so.
Safe checks
- Check temperature setting and holiday mode
- Move food away from air vents
- Clean accessible grilles after disconnecting power
DIY diagnostic boundary: Do not open the sealed refrigeration system. If you hear hissing or see oily residue, switch off and call service.

Frequently asked questions
Can I continue using the appliance?
Only when there are no hazard signs, the manual allows it and the symptom is not worsening. Stop whenever uncertain.
Does this symptom identify one specific part?
No. Without measurements and inspection, several causes can create the same symptom. UsterkaTo shows areas to investigate.
What should I tell the technician?
Full model, code, stage of occurrence, repeatability, safe steps and any smoke, smell, leak or breaker information.
