  Your Gorenje refrigerator might sound an alarm for several reasons: * The door may have been opened frequently or left open too long. * The door may not be closing properly because of an obstruction, a sagged door, or a damaged gasket. * There may have been an excessively long power failure. * Too much fresh food may have been added at once. * The refrigerator sensor might be blocked by food; ensure the sensor is free and air can circulate around it.

  If your Gorenje refrigerator is dripping water, it might be because the drain outlet is clogged, causing water to drip past the collection groove. Try cleaning the clogged outlet using a plastic straw. Also, thaw thick ice deposits manually.

Why is it hard to open the Gorenje HZF 3267 Refrigerator door?

  William RobinsonAug 27, 2025
  If you find it difficult to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, it's likely due to negative pressure (vacuum). When the door opens, warm air replaces the escaping cold air, creating suction. Wait a few minutes to allow the pressure to normalize, and then you should be able to open the door easily.

  If the water dispenser on your Gorenje refrigerator isn't working after connecting the appliance to the mains power, first check the pipe couplings. Also, check the water level in the bottle. Before the first use, and if the dispenser has been out of use for a while, make sure the water bottle is full, with the lowest water level being 5 cm below the pump.
