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

〜
60˚C immediately after installation or in summer, but there is no
problem with the safety and the performance.
Abnormal operating sound is generated
●
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.
Possible Cause
Floor bends
Leg cover comes off
Refrigerator comes in contact with the wall or

Annoying sound
is generated by
the refrigerator.
●

●
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

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 caused when ice separates from the ice tray
