Troubleshooting

The Zanussi ZBB 7266 Refrigerator has some known problems that occur often. Here are some easy to do solutions for the problems or error codes your Zanussi might be giving you.

Flashing Temperature and Red Display Illumination

An increase in the temperature in the freezer compartment, possibly due to a power failure, is indicated by the temperature flashing and the display illumination turning red. When normal conditions are restored, the acoustic signal shuts off, but the temperature value continues to flash and the display illumination remains red until the highest temperature reached in the compartment is shown on the indicator.

Excessive Temperature Alarm

This alarm is triggered by a significant increase in the freezer compartment temperature. To resolve the issue, ensure that the freezer door is closed securely. If the alarm persists, check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing. The alarm can be temporarily silenced by pressing the function button E, but the display will remain red until the temperature stabilizes.

No Power to Appliance

The appliance is not receiving power, indicated by the display being off and no operational response. Check the power socket for functionality and ensure that there is no power outage in the household. Verify that the plug is correctly connected and that the appliance's power button is engaged.
