Has strong-smelling food been put inside without 

   being wrapped ?

Food smells like plastic.

The deodorizing function will not remove all odor.

Either wrap or seal such foods.

 Sometimes the normal operating sound of the 

   refrigerator gets louder.

 A sound like running water is emitted.

 A knocking sound.

 A sound like something is boiling (a bubbling sound).

 A sizzling sound like when meat is being cooked.

 A sound like something stuck in a machine.

 A whirring sound.

 A cracking sound. (This is heard inside the refrigerator 

   when the door is opened.

 A hissing sound right after the door is closed.

 This is the sound of a temporary drop in air pressure when

    the air that entered into the refrigerator is suddenly cooled.

 This is the sound of the plastic creaking due to a change in 

   temperature (when the door is opened).

 After installation, the refrigerator operates at full power to cool

    its interior, so it will make a louder sound.

 This is the sound of the cooling fluid (refrigerant) flowing 

    through the cooling device. This sound might also be heard

    when the compressor has stopped.

 This is the sound of parts, such as the motor, which control

    the temperature inside the refrigerator running. 

This is because many plastic parts are used inside

    the refrigerator. As your food cools, the odor will gradually

    go away.

Unpleasant

odor inside the 

refrigerator.

Very weak electrical 

shock is felt when 

touching the main body.

The refrigerator 

is noisy.

Some kind of sound

is being made.

(These sounds are 

not a sign of 

malfunction.)

Problem

29

The front and back of 

the refrigerator is warm. 

Warm wind blows 

out from the bottom. 

 The heat exhaust pipe and fan release the heat inside 

   the refrigerator, so they might become hot.

 The refrigerator occasionally accumulates static 

   electricity, but this is not a safety concern.

 If this becomes an annoyance, earthing the refrigerator 

   main body is recommended.

The door feels 

heavy when trying 

to open it right 

after being closed.

 This is caused by a temporary drop in air pressure 

   due to the suddenly cooling of the air entering inside 

   the refrigerator.

 The door might feel heavy for a moment, but it will soon feel

    normal again.

When one door is 

The panel display keeps

changing 

● This indicates that the refrigerator is runnning is store-display mode.

 

● The refrigerator will not cool while running in store-display mode.

● Turn off the store-display mode by.

1. Power off and Power on the refrigerator again.

2. After that the refrigerator will return to normal mode.

-

closed, the other 

door opens.

 The compartments are connected by a cold air 

   pathway, so the air pressure from the closing of one

  door might cause the other door to open temporarily.

 Closing the doors slowly will eliminate this problem.

 The temperature in these locations might reach 50 ºC to 60 ºC 

    immediately after your refrigerator is installed. This is not 

    abnormal.

The refrigerator 

is noisy.

 Is the floor stable ?

 Is there any object between the refrigerator leg and 

   the floor where it is installed ?

● 

Is the rear face touching a wall, etc. ?

● 

Did the leg adjuster cover come off ?

 Install the refrigerator on a stable, level floor, or in a place 

    with a stable board under it.

● 

Install the refrigerator in a location with enough 

    space around it.

● 

Securely attach the leg adjuster cover.
