Sound
Rattling noise
●
Is the floor tough and horizontal? (P. 6)
●
Do both the legs reach the floor and is the refrigerator properly fixed? (P. 6)
●
Do the sides of the refrigerator not touch the walls or furniture around the
refrigerator? (P. 6)
●
Does the power cord of the refrigerator not touch the walls or furniture
around the refrigerator? (P. 6)
Noise bothers me
●
The compressor or the fan may make loud noise when the refrigerator is being
cooled, such as when the refrigerator is not still cooled soon after installation,
the doors are frequently opened and closed, the temperature around the
refrigerator is high, or Fresh Freezing is set ON. This is not abnormal.
→ When the refrigerator has been cooled, the noise becomes small.
Rapping sound can be
heard
●
When the door is closed with a force or the floor is uneven, the
refrigerator shakes and generates noise. Place a plate under the
refrigerator to prevent it from shaking. (P. 6)
Hot
The top of the refrigerator is hot
●
The mechanical section releases heat. (P. 7)
Front (or side) panel is hot
●
The left and right side surfaces may become hot to let out heat generated
when the refrigeration system operates. The temperature may become
50 °C to 60 °C (when the ambient temperature is 30 °C) after installation
or in the summer, but this is not abnormal.
Display
Temperature setting on the
operation panel is flashing.
●
Has the temperature of the refrigerator compartment or the freezer
compartment been adjusted in detail? (P. 22)
Door
The door is heavy when
opening it immediately
after closing.
●
Air taken into the interior is suddenly cooled. The inner pressure becomes
lower than the external air momentarily. The items in the compartments
seem to have been “sucked”.
Magnets do not stick to the doors.
●
The doors are made of glass. Magnets do not stick.
Ice making
Ice cannot be made
●
When you use this refrigerator for the first time, ice will be made after the
interior has cooled down sufficiently.
(24 hours or more may be required.)
●
Is the ice making function set to [AUTO ICE OFF] ?
●
Are the water supply tank (P. 15) and ice-making tray (P. 19) set correctly?
●
Is there any food etc. in the ice storage box?
●
Do you frequently take in and out the ice-making tray?
●
To confirm whether the ice maker is operating, press [AUTO ICE OFF]
button for at least 10 seconds. If the water in the water supply tank
decreases, the ice maker is operating.
(If water has spilled into the ice storage box, wipe it off.)
Ice cubes are not frozen
inside
●
Has the freezer compartment temperature control been set to “ 1 ” ?
→ Set it to “ 2 ” or “ 3 ”. (P. 8)
The shape of ice is not
“cubic”
●
There are projections.
→ They are the connecting parts frozen in the ice-making tray.
●
The ice cubes are round or connected to other ice cubes.
→ Is the ice stored for a long time?
(Ice cubes get round or connected by sublimation.)
●
The ice is small.
→
Small ice cubes sometimes produced when water in the tank is exhausted.
Smell
Ice smells
●
Do you clean the water supply tank and purification filter once a week? (P. 19)
●
Is any cleaning agent, benzine, bleach used for caring? (P. 19)
●
Is the water purification filter deteriorated? (P. 19)
●
Have you put strong smelling foods into the other compartments?
The interior smells
●
Are strong smelling foods hermetically sealed?
●
Odor often attaches to the interior walls.
→ Dip a soft cloth in lukewarm water and squeeze it.
Wipe it with this cloth.
