Troubleshooting

Fridge is not cooling adequately

Check that the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door is fully closed and not obstructed. Verify that the condenser coils at the back are clean and free of dust. Make sure the 175mm clearance on the hinged side is maintained.

Excessive noise from the unit

Ensure the appliance is level on its adjustable feet. Check that nothing is touching the rear of the unit. Minor operational noises from the inverter compressor are normal.

Water pooling inside the fridge compartment

Check if the defrost water drain hole at the back of the fridge interior is blocked. Clean it gently with a soft cloth or cotton swab.

Door seal is not forming a tight fit

Inspect the door seal for any debris or damage. Clean the seal with mild soap and water. Ensure the door is not being held open by items stored inside or the required clearance gap.

Interior light not working

The LED lighting is designed for longevity. If it fails, contact customer support as it may require professional replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Smeg FAB28RDSA6 is a freestanding unit. Ensure it is placed on a level surface. For optimal door operation and ventilation, a gap of 175mm must be maintained on the side where the door hinges (right-hand hinge by default). Connect the power plug to a standard Type F electrical outlet.

Compatibility: This model operates on a standard 220-240V AC input with a 50-60 Hz frequency. It is designed for indoor use in ambient temperatures ranging from 10°C to 43°C (Climate Class SN-T).

Care:

Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth; the soft-touch finish is best maintained with gentle cleaning.
Defrosting: The fridge compartment has automatic defrost. The ice-box (freezer compartment) may require manual defrosting periodically to maintain efficiency. Ensure the appliance is unplugged before defrosting.
Ventilation: Maintain adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the rear, as recommended by the installation instructions.
