8-3. Odor & Frost
Contents of Complaints Explanation & Actions
Much smell in the Fridge Foods have various smell. Fermented foods especially popular in
this country have their unique smells that are not easily gotten rid
of. When there is strong smell, set the temperature in the
compartment to ‘strong’ first and then wipe the inside surface of
the compartment using cleaning products, such as Pongpong.
Particularly, salted fish or various Kimchi with their container open
or spilt on the shelf, etc. can cause much smell. And help the
customers understand the need of regularly cleaning the inside of
the refrigerator.
Frost in the Freezer In one of the following cases, frost will suddenly occur:
-
The door is open
-
There is a gap in the gasket with air let in through it
-
You open the door of the Freezer too much
-
You put warm water in the Freezer without cooling it.
Especially in summer, warm, wet air can flow into the Freezer and
settle on the food, whenever you open it. These things happen
temporarily, and will disappear if you reduce the accessing of the
Freezer.
Frost occurs on the front
part of the ice machine. If you put the ice machine filled with water in the Freezer, there
will occur much evaporation on the surface of the water. And
when cool air is blown from the coolness outlet on the rear side,
much frost will take place momentarily.

The side of the refrigerator
is hot. On the front side and around, heat-releasing pipes are installed
so as to prevent the dewing in the Freezer and the Fridge.
Particularly in hot summer, or when the refrigerator is installed
too close to a wall, it may get hot due to a poor heat release. Let
there be good ventilation, then.
A hole inside the door A small hole on the inside is a breathing hole to let the insulation
spread well over the door during the insulation work. It is not a
defect. Don’t worry.
It is hard to open the door. When you open the door, the cool air in the refrigerator meets
the warm air from outside, when the air inside gets smaller in
volume momentarily, forming a negative pressure. This is the
same principle as when a PET bottle filled with warm water and
put inside a refrigerator shrinks. It is normal.
The door is lifted, or budges,
slightly. The Freezer and the Fridge are interconnected through an air
channel. So when you close a door, the air which has flown in
moves to the other compartment through the channel and the air
exceeding the volume of the compartment will leak out.
