2. Oil from the inner fan:
Vertical course under the fan (trace of oil).
Procedure: Reduced amount of oil from 05.99
Molykote/ silicone lubrication from 07.99
3. Impact effect:
Cause: Fallen objects (sheet of glass or tin can).
Area: On the floor, in front of the vegetable drawer.
Appearance: Often a pressure mark is still visible or the plastic on
one side of the crack is "hooked under".
4. Assessment aid for cracks
Feel the surface of the damage with your fingers. If you cannot feel
any unevenness, this indicates a stress crack (not caused by the
customer).
If unevenness is perceptible or if the plastic on one side of the crack is
jammed under, it can be assumed that the damage was caused by an
external effect. If this type of damage is not complained about as soon
as the appliance is switched on, it can be assumed that the customer
is responsilbe and a replacement under the warranty is not permitted.
