Is the power plug disconnected or has the circuit breaker
tripped?
If 30 seconds pass without any
operation panel button operations,
displays turn off.
Do you clean the water tank and the
water supply pump once a week?
Have you placed food with strong odor
inside the refrigerator without sealing
in a container?
The outer walls heat up signifi cantly (to about 50 to
60°C) immediately after installation and in summer.
This is because the heat discharging and condensation
prevention pipes are located on the sides and the top of
the refrigerator. They are required for cooling and the
heat is not an abnormality.
A heat discharging fan is located under the refrigerator.
Warm air may be discharged from here.
First, check the items described in this section. If the problem persists, contact the retail store where
you purchased the refrigerator as soon as possible.
