Symptoms

Reason

Solution

Frost or condensation 

has formed inside or 

outside the appliance.

Did you open and close the 

appliance door frequently or is 

the appliance door improperly 

closed?

 

Frost or condensation can form if the 

outside air penetrates inside the 

appliance.

Is the installation environment 

humid?

 

Condensation can appear on the 

exterior of the appliance if the 

installation area is too humid or on a 

humid day such as a rainy day. Wipe 

off any moisture with a dry cloth.

The appliance is 

noisy and generates 

abnormal sounds.

Is the appliance installed on a 

weak floor or improperly 

leveled?

 

Install the appliance on a solid and 

flat area.

Does the rear of the appliance 

touch the wall?

 

Adjust the installation position to 

allow enough clearance around the 

appliance.

Are objects scattered behind 

the appliance?

 

Remove the scattered objects from 

behind the appliance.

Is there an object on top of the 

appliance?

 

Remove the object on top of the 

appliance.

The side or front of 

the appliance is 

warm.

There are anti condensation 

pipes fitted to these areas of 

the appliance to reduce 

condensation forming from 

around the door area.

 

The heat releasing pipe to prevent 

condensation is installed on the front 

and side of the appliance. You may 

feel it particularly hot right after the 

appliance is installed or during the 

summer. You can be assured that 

this is not a problem and is quite 

normal.

There is water inside 

or outside of the 

appliance.

Is there water leakage around 

the appliance?

 

Check if the water has leaked from a 

sink or another place.

Is there water on the bottom of 

the appliance?

 

Check if the water is from the 

thawed frozen food or a broken or 

dropped container.
