Dew or Frost is generated

Frost or ice is 

generated in 

the freezer 

compartment

The door of the freezer 

compartment was not left 

open temporarily?

Making extra ice by using 

an additional ice-tray which 

was not originally installed

in the refrigerator?

Dew is generated 

in the refrigerator 

compartment

Dew is generated 

on the outer 

surface of the 

refrigerator

The door of the refrigerator 

compartment was not left 

open temporarily?

The door of the refrigerator 

compartment was not 

opened frequently or longer 

time than necessary?

Storing many vegetables 

containing much water?

The volume of humidity around 

the refrigerator is not high?

The temperature setting is 

not set as " Coldest

Coldest

"?

When the door is opened frequently or if the door 

is opened when the humidity around the refrigerator 

is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some 

frost or ice on the inner wall or component of the 

freezer compartment, or around the air channels.

This is not a failure. Please try not to open the door 

too many times or for a long time. Also, please wipe 

frost or ice generated in the freezer compartment off with use of a dry cloth.
When the many containers in which water or liquid is stored 

are put in the same time, water or liquid may be evaporated 

and turned into frost or ice on the wall or component of the 

freezer compartment, or around the air channels. You can 

suppress these frost and ice by putting lid to avoid evaporation.

Please wipe frost and ice off with use of a dry cloth.

Please check not to pinch the food or plastic bag between 

the door and door frame when you close the door.

The humidity of the vegetable compartment is higher than other 

compartments. Accordingly, depending on the amount or type of 

the vegetable, dew condensation may be generated on the plastic

case of vegetable compartment. However, this is not a failure. 

When you do not want to have this kind of dew, please wrap your vegetables in a plastic 

film. Also, when the dew condensation happens many times, water may be accumulated 

in the vegetable compartment. Please wipe the water off with a dry cloth.

When the humidity rises such as in rainy day, some dew may be generated on 

the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please wipe the dew off with a dry cloth.
When the temperature setting is set as 

"

", some dew may be

generated on the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please set the

setting as 

"Normal". Also, please wipe dew off with use of a dry cloth.

Why frost and dew are generated?

When warm and humid air contacts something 

cold, dew is generated. For example, if you put 

some ice in the glass in your room, air around 

the glass will be cold down and some dew may

be generated on the outer surface of the glass.

In the same way, when warm and humid 

air enters into the refrigerator at the 

door opening, the warm and humid air 

contacts cold inner wall and little dew 

may be generated.

Accordingly, if the door opening is too frequent 

or too long, dew will be accumulated at every 

door opening. In some cases, dew may be 

frozen to generate some frost or ice flakes 

in the freezer compartment.

The door of the freezer 

compartment was not 

opened frequently or longer 

time than necessary?

dew condensation

Check that the wrapping paper of the food is not getting 

caught in order not to make gap between door and 

door gasket when you close the door.

When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened 

when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture 

in the air may be turned into some dew on the inner wall or 

component of the refrigerator compartment, or around the 

chilled air blow-off port. This is not a failure.Please try not to 

open the door too many times or for a long time. Also, please 

wipe off the dew in the refrigerator compartment with a dry cloth.
