Troubleshooting

The Indesit HM315NI Refrigerator has some known problems that occur often. Here are some easy to do solutions for the problems or error codes your Indesit might be giving you.

Check that there is power in the house by testing another appliance. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician to inspect the socket.

High Ambient Temperature

The outside ambient temperature is very high, affecting appliance performance. Ensure that the appliance is installed in a location where the ambient temperature is within the specified range for optimal performance.

Excessive Frost

More Troubleshooting

Installation and Placement

The Indesit HM315NI Refrigerator must be installed indoors, away from heat sources such as direct sunlight and electric stoves. It should be placed vertically and connected to an earthed electrical socket. Ensure the socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance and that it is compliant with safety regulations.

Automatic Defrosting

The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic defrosting function. Water from the defrosting process is channeled to the back of the appliance, where it evaporates. It is essential to regularly clean the discharge hole to ensure proper water flow.

Freezer Use

When freezing fresh food, ensure it does not contact defrosted items. Store fresh food above the grill in the freezer compartment for rapid freezing. Avoid placing glass bottles with liquids in the freezer to prevent breakage. The maximum freezing capacity is indicated inside the appliance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power supply. Clean the compartments with lukewarm water and bicarbonate. For extended periods of non-use, clean the interior and leave the doors open to prevent odours and mould.

Temperature Adjustment

The refrigerator features a temperature adjustment knob, which should be set to an average value. The internal temperature automatically adjusts according to the setting of this knob. Large quantities of food and high ambient temperatures may require adjustments to prevent excessive frost and energy consumption.

Food Storage Recommendations

Store fresh fish and meat above the fruit and vegetable bins, fresh cheese and cooked food on any shelf, and eggs, butter, and margarine on the designated shelves. Avoid placing hot foods inside the compartments and cover or seal foods to maintain an odour-free environment.

Safety Precautions

Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet, and do not touch internal cooling elements to avoid frost burns. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before cleaning or maintenance. In case of a power cut or malfunction, keep the freezer door closed.

Light Bulb Replacement

To replace the refrigerator compartment's light bulb, unplug the appliance from the socket. Follow the specific instructions provided to ensure safe replacement.

Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Indesit Refrigerator.

Optimal Placement

Ensure the refrigerator is placed in a well-ventilated, humidity-free room away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper ventilation is crucial for efficient operation and energy conservation.

Door Usage

Avoid keeping the refrigerator door open for extended periods or opening it too frequently. This helps conserve energy and maintains the internal temperature.

Avoid Overloading

Do not overfill the refrigerator with food, as cold air must circulate freely for optimal food preservation. Overloading can cause the compressor to work continuously, leading to higher energy consumption.

Proper Food Storage

Always cover or seal food to prevent odors and stains. Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.

Regular Defrosting

Defrost the appliance if ice forms, as a thick layer of ice hinders cold transference and increases energy consumption.
