Point to be checked
Water from the
Water Dispenser
is not chilled.
Detailed Check Points and Countermeasures
Ɣ
Has the water just been put into the Water Tank ?
Ɣ
It may take 24 hours or even more to chill the water in the Water Tank
completely ,if the ambient temperature is high in the summer seasons, etc..
However, it will just take 8 to 9 hours to chill the tank-full of water.
Ɣ
If you need chilled water immediately, it is effective to put ice cubes into the
glass by using the Ice Dispenser and then to use the Water Dispenser.
Ɣ
When using the Water Dispenser, the water dispensed
in the beginning is not chilled enough.
Ɣ
Chilled water is supplied from the WaterTank in the refrigerator
compartment through the tubes which is placed in the compressor
compartment, the bottom of the cabinet, and the door. Therefore,
the water in the beginning may not be chilled ,because that water
was not in the cold sections, however, after dispensing half of glass
of water, chilled water will be dispensed.
