Product Information

Full details

This Smeg FAB28RDSA6 fridge-freezer is designed for those who appreciate a blend of retro aesthetics and modern functionality, perfect for stylish kitchens, apartments, or studios. Its key benefit lies in its efficient Multi-flow cooling system and a dedicated LifePlus 0°C drawer for optimal food preservation, all housed within an iconic 50's design. A minor caveat is its 'C' energy efficiency rating, which is less eco-friendly than higher-rated models.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the LifePlus 0°C drawer?

The LifePlus 0°C drawer is a special compartment designed to maintain a temperature between -2°C and +3°C, which is ideal for extending the shelf life and preserving the flavour of perishable foods like fresh meat, fish, and cheese.

Does this model have a 'No Frost' feature for the freezer?

No, the Smeg FAB28RDSA6 features automatic defrost for the fridge compartment, but the 26-litre ice-box (freezer) does not have a 'No Frost' system and may require manual defrosting periodically.

What is the energy efficiency rating of this fridge?

The Smeg FAB28RDSA6 has an energy efficiency class of 'C', based on the current EU energy label scale.

How much clearance do I need for the door?

You need to leave a gap of 175mm on the side of the product where the door hinges (the right-hand side) to allow the door to open fully without obstruction.

Is the door reversible?

No, this model has a fixed right-hand hinge and the doors are not reversible.

What is the noise level of this refrigerator?

The noise level is approximately 35 dB(A), which is considered very quiet and suitable for open-plan living spaces.

What is the warranty period for this Smeg fridge?

The Smeg FAB28RDSA6 comes with a standard 2-year warranty for parts and labour.

Can I store bottles in the fridge door?

Yes, the fridge door features balconies designed to accommodate bottles, along with space for other smaller items.

Troubleshooting

Fridge is not cooling adequately

Check that the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door is fully closed and not obstructed. Verify that the condenser coils at the back are clean and free of dust. Make sure the 175mm clearance on the hinged side is maintained.

Excessive noise from the unit

Ensure the appliance is level on its adjustable feet. Check that nothing is touching the rear of the unit. Minor operational noises from the inverter compressor are normal.

Water pooling inside the fridge compartment

Check if the defrost water drain hole at the back of the fridge interior is blocked. Clean it gently with a soft cloth or cotton swab.

Door seal is not forming a tight fit

Inspect the door seal for any debris or damage. Clean the seal with mild soap and water. Ensure the door is not being held open by items stored inside or the required clearance gap.

Interior light not working

The LED lighting is designed for longevity. If it fails, contact customer support as it may require professional replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unique and stylish 50's retro design in a distinctive light sage green finish.
Dedicated LifePlus 0°C drawer for superior preservation of delicate foods.
Even cooling performance thanks to the Multiflow system.
Quiet operation ideal for open-plan living.
Good internal organization with adjustable shelves and bottle rack.

Cons

Energy efficiency rating of 'C' is lower than many modern appliances.

Requires a 175mm gap on the hinged side for the door to open fully.
Not a 'No Frost' model for the freezer compartment, which may require manual defrosting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Smeg FAB28RDSA6 is a freestanding unit. Ensure it is placed on a level surface. For optimal door operation and ventilation, a gap of 175mm must be maintained on the side where the door hinges (right-hand hinge by default). Connect the power plug to a standard Type F electrical outlet.

Compatibility: This model operates on a standard 220-240V AC input with a 50-60 Hz frequency. It is designed for indoor use in ambient temperatures ranging from 10°C to 43°C (Climate Class SN-T).

Care:

Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth; the soft-touch finish is best maintained with gentle cleaning.
Defrosting: The fridge compartment has automatic defrost. The ice-box (freezer compartment) may require manual defrosting periodically to maintain efficiency. Ensure the appliance is unplugged before defrosting.
Ventilation: Maintain adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the rear, as recommended by the installation instructions.
