Product Information

Full details

This Russell Hobbs fridge freezer is designed for households seeking a spacious, modern, and convenient food storage solution. Its key benefit is the Total No Frost technology, eliminating manual defrosting and keeping food fresher for longer, complemented by a built-in water dispenser for instant chilled refreshment. A potential caveat for some users might be its 50/50 split, meaning freezer space is less than fridge space, which may require adjustment for those who store a large amount of frozen goods. It offers a generous 245L capacity, a slimline design suitable for standard kitchens, and ample organizational features.

Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer is not cooling

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and not being blocked. Check for excessive ice build-up, though Total No Frost should prevent this.

Water dispenser not working

Ensure the water reservoir is filled correctly. Check if the dispenser lever or button is properly engaged. Inspect for any blockages in the dispensing channel.

Unusual noises

Some operational noises like humming or clicking are normal. If noises are loud or persistent, check if the appliance is level or if it's touching a wall or cabinet.

Interior light not working

Check if the door is fully closed. If the light bulb has burnt out, it may need replacement (refer to user manual for bulb type and replacement procedure).

Door alarm sounds constantly

Ensure the fridge or freezer door is fully closed. Remove any items obstructing the door from closing. Check if the door seals are clean and making proper contact.
