Strange
Sound
Frost
& Dew
Explanation
Front and side of refrigerator feels
warm or hot.
Doors do not open easily.
It sounds like water is flowing from
the refrigerator.
Something cracking or click
sound.
Humming or buzz sound.
Dew or frost on the wall and/or
food container surface in the
freezer and refrigerator
compartment.
Dew on the interior lights cover
Dew on the cabinet surface
Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the
surface to prevent moisture forming on it.
When you close the door and then open again
immediately,the door is not easy to open. Warm air
rushes into the inside to make the pressure difference.
In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily.
When the compressor starts to run or stops,
refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in
the pipes can make such a sound.
Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This
refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.)
Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to
temperature change ---When the inside gets cold or
when the door is open ---such sound can be made.
Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make
such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level,
the sound can be louder.)
Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases ;
High temperature and/or high humidity around the
refrigerator
When doors are open too long
Foods with much moisture are stored uncovered or
unwrapped
You can see the same appearance when cold
water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming
on the surface of it.
The light bulb radiates heat while it is on, so when
doors are open too long, dew can form on the light
cover due to temperature difference.
In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator,
moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form the
dew.
