3. Troubleshooting Guide
■
Before calling for service, check the followings.
Foods freeze in the fresh food compartment
■
Has the temperature been on “3” continuously?
■
Is the temperature near refrigerator less than 5˚C?
■
Was moist foods such as vegetables placed just in front of the cold air duct?
Refrigerator never get cold.
■
Is there no power failure?
■
Is the mains play firmly secure.
Refrigerator does not get cold enough.
■
Has the temperature been on “1” continuously? Set the temperature to “2”.
■
Has too hot food put in? Check food storage state.
■
Is the inside filled with too much food?
■
Is either door open or did you open and shut the doors too often?
■
Is there a gas range or a stove near the refrigerator? Is it in direct sun-light? Check the installation place.
Refrigerator is noisy.
■
Is the floor firm and level or the refrigerator levelled well ?
■
Is the back of refrigerator touching the wall ?
Check!
■
Check if either door is open.
■
Did you leave the doors open too
long or is moist food put with its lid
off ?
Moisture disappears naturally if
doors are closed, but it’s better to
wipe it off with dry cloth.
■
Have you dried and emptied the
evaporator dish?
■
Air ducts blocked with foods ?
■
Is strong odoring food stored
unwrapped ? Check the food storage
state.
* The vegetable cases are closed, so
deodorazing is almost impossible.
Moisture collects inside.
Water is flowing out when
moving the refrigerator.
Something smells.
Moisture is forming on
cabinet surface !
It sounds water-flowing
in the refrigerator.
Doors are not
opened easily.
• Moisture can be formed during the rainy season or through continuous
hot and humid days.
Wipe out the surface with dry cloth.
• The sound can be heard when the compressor stops.
When refrigerant to cools down, the system can make such a sound.
• Such case happens when you open the door right after closing it.
Do not try to force the doors to open; wait about 30 seconds or so.
Front feels warm.
Cracking sound comes
out of the inside.
Freezer compartment door
is opened and shut slightly.
Frost forms inside the fresh
food compartment
Noise comes by opening
the door or controlling
quick pocket.
• Front part of cabinet may feel warm because of the hot-pipe to prevent
the forming of moisture.
• When the parts inside shrink and expand due to temperature change,
such sound can be heard.
• When you shut the fresh food compartment door quickly, the freezer
compartment door is opened and shut slightly of itself. That’s because
of the condensed air in the fresh food compartment run to the freezer
compartment by closing the door.
• When the surroundings are hot and humid, if you open and shut the
doors frequently. When you store watery food unwrapped, frost may
also form. It is all because of the moisture in the air being trapped
inside.
• When Air-Curtain is on to block the warm air or Quick-Pocket is
working to make concentrated cooling to the pockets, electric motor is
working and makes such noise. This is not a fault.
