Good Morning 

Welcome to JustAnswer and thank you for your question. My name is***** am an expert from Germany and have been working as an appliance technician for 20 years.

I work with a language translation program and would be very grateful for your understanding.

I'm sorry I can't talk on the phone, but another expert can do it for you if you wish. If you were to book the phone service, then you may have to wait a little while until another expert becomes free and accepts your phone request.

I will try to help you as much as possible via chat.

I am sorry that you are having this problem! Please give me a few minutes to check what kind of device you have and download the correct documents. If you have not written the model number or manufacturer please write it to me now.

I ask you now for a little patience.

You may have problems with the thermostat. I would recommend that we first switch off the appliance and disconnect the power supply. Then wait at least 4 hours and restart. If you have a super function on the unit, press it for at least 3-5 seconds. Then the cooling will be accelerated and started. However, you can only now activate the fast super frost function and watch the appliance for 30 minutes.
