  Your Zanussi Refrigerator might not be operating because it is switched off. In this case, switch it on. Another reason could be that the mains plug is not correctly connected to the mains socket; make sure it is properly connected. Also, there might be no voltage in the mains socket. To check this, connect a different electrical appliance to the same socket. If it still doesn't work, contact a qualified electrician.

Why is the temperature in my Zanussi ZEAN11FW0 Refrigerator too low or too high?

  Lori BrownAug 28, 2025
  The temperature in your Zanussi Refrigerator might be too low or too high because it is not set correctly; try setting a higher or lower temperature. The door might not be closed correctly. The food products' temperature might be too high; allow the food products' temperature to decrease to room temperature before storage. Also, many food products might be stored at the same time; try storing fewer food products at the same time. If the thickness of the frost is greater than 4-5 mm, defrost the appliance. The door may have been opened often, so open the door only when necessary. The Super Freeze function could be switched on.
