Troubleshooting
Abnormal operating sound is generated
●
The refrigerator may not be installed properly.
●
You may feel that the operation sound is large because the compressor operates in high-speed under the following conditions: the refrigerator
does not cool fully on the occasion such as using it for the fi rst time, opening/closing the door frequently, the surrounding temperature is high.
→
The sound becomes small after cooling fully.
The compressor operates at low speed at night, for long vacations or absences, potentially developing large vibrations.
Possible Cause
Floor bends
Leg cover comes off
Refrigerator comes in contact with the wall or furniture, etc.
Lay a fi rm board and then install the refrigerator thereon.
Pg.36
Install it fi rmly.
Pg.36
Install the refrigerator with clearance around it.
Possible Solution
Operation sound lasts long
Operation sound
sometimes becomes larger
When other sound
such as shown in
the right table is
generated by the
refrigerator
Annoying sound is
generated by the
refrigerator.
●
It is because the compressor operates in low-speed for conserving energy.
●
It is because the system changes the operating power of the refrigerator according to the temperature change.
●
The following sounds are generated when the refrigerator is operating normally, so they do not indicate any trouble.
Type of sound
・
Sound like water fl owing (trickling)
・
Sound like collision (tapping)
・
Sound like water boiling (bubbling up)
・
Sound like meat roasting (sizzling)
・
Sound like squeaking (cracking)
(knocking)
・
Sound occurred sometimes (clacking)
・
Sound like something is caught (clacking)
・
Sound like roaring (honking)
・
Sound caused immediately after closing the door
(booming)
・
Sounds caused by the Automatic ice maker
(zooming)
(rattling)
(clunking)
These sounds are caused when the refrigerant fl ows or water fl ows/
evaporates to remove frost.
This sound is caused because the parts squeaks when the
refrigerator temperature changes.
This sound is caused when the refrigerator starts the operation to cool.
These sounds are caused when the electric parts to control
the refrigerator temperature operates.
These sounds are made when ice is separated from the ice tray of the
auto ice maker or water is supplied to the ice tray. These sounds are
also heard every two or three hours when the water supply container is
empty. To stop the sound, touch the
button to change it to OFF .
Pg.46
Source of sound
The refrigerator becomes hot
The side of the refrigerator
becomes hot Hot air comes from
the bottom of the refrigerator
●
Hot air may come from the bottom of the refrigerator to exhaust the heat generated when the cooling device operates.
→
The temperature may rise to 50 – 60 ˚C immediately after installation or during summer.
It does not pose safety or performance problems, but avoid touching it.
Frost and/or dew occur
Refrigerator cools overly
Door is not in a horizontal state
AUTO DOOR Compartment does not open/close correctly
Pg.49
When this happens
Please check. This is the cause.
Frost and/or dew adhere
to the refrigerator interior
or the frame of the
drawer compartment.
Dew condensation
occurs in the Refrigerator
Compartment
Dew adheres to the outside of the
refrigerator (exterior, door seal,
door and drawer compartment etc).
Dew condensation
occurs in the Vegetable
Compartment
●
The door or the drawer compartment may not be closed completely.
→
Check whether the drawer compartment or the door has been closed completely after closing them.
●
The door may be opened/closed frequently or door may remain open for a long time.
→
Reduce frequency of opening and closing the door or open/close the door quickly.
●
A lower setting of the condensation prevention heater may cause dew condensation in the swing partition, door packing, or a door itself when humidity is high.
Pg.57
●
Condensation may form on the wall and/or around the cold air blowout port
when the door is opened and closed frequently or the humidity is high around
the refrigerator.
→
Wipe the dew off with a dry cloth.
●
Dew may adhere to the those parts when the indoor humidity is high (ex: rainy day).
●
Frost and/or dew may adhere to the refrigerator interior or the door frame when the warm air outside comes in
contact with those parts.
→
Wipe off with a dry cloth.
●
The humidity in the Vegetable Compartment is higher than other compartments. (To prevent vegetables from
drying and to make them last longer)
→
If it is undesirable that dew adheres to the stored vegetables, wrap them with the plastic fi lm.
●
Water may drop into cases placed in the Vegetable Compartment due to dew concentration.
→
Wipe off them with a dry cloth.
Refrigerator cools
overly Food freeze
●
MAX. is selected in the temperature setting.
→
Switch it to MID. .
Pg.42, 45, 50
●
The surrounding temperature is lower than 5˚C.
→
When the ambient temperature is low, the inside of the
refrigerator may cool overly. Switch the temperature setting to MIN. .
Pg.42, 45, 50
●
Do not place any food in front of the cold air blowout port.
Door is not in a
horizontal state
Another door opens
after closing one door.
More force is required to
open the door immediately
after closing the door.
●
The installation site may not be level. Left side or right side of the door may be slightly lower when the left or
right leg is sunk in the fl oor surface because of the soft fl oor material and the addition of food weight.
→
This does not affect the refrigerator performance. Adjust the refrigerator adjustable mount to keep it level if
you want to correct it.
Pg.36
→
Lay the fi rm board which has more than 1cm thickness on the fl oor if the refrigerator itself inclines.
●
Another door may open for a moment by the wind pressure because cool air path connects each compartment.
●
It is because air entered the Refrigerator Compartment is rapidly cooled and the pressure in the Refrigerator
Compartment temporarily lowers.
