* The vegetable cases are closed, so
deodorazing is almost impossible.
Moisture collects inside.
Water is flowing out when
moving the refrigerator.
Something smells.
Moisture is forming on
cabinet surface !
It sounds water-flowing
in the refrigerator.
Doors connot be
opened easily.
• Moisture can be formed during rainy season or continuous hot and
humid days.
Wipe out the surface with dry cloth.
• The sound can be heard when the compressor stops.
When refrigerant cools down, the system may make such a sound.
• Such case happens when you open the door right after closing it.
Do not try to force the doors to open; wait about 30 seconds or so.
Cabinet is warm.
Cracking sound comes
out of the inside.
Freezer compartment door
is opened and shut slightly
when fresh food compartment
door is closed.
Tiny frostwork forms inside
of the fresh food
compartment
• Front part of cabinet may get warm because of the hot-pipe to prevent
the forming of moisture.
• When the parts inside shrink and expand due to temperature change,
such sound can be heard.
• When you shut the fresh food compartment door quickly, the freezer
compartment door is opened and shut slightly by itself. That is
because of the condensed air in the fresh food compartment run to the
freezer compartment by closing the door.
• When the surrounding is hot and humid, if you open and shut the doors
frequently such happens. When you store watery food unwrapped,
such frostwork may form too. It is all because of the moist in the air
clung to the inside.
These are normal phenomenon.
