Solution
The Kimchi
Refrigerator is not
working.
- Check the power plug connection.
- Check if the chamber you want to use has been turned on.
- The compressor unit will turn on and off repeatedly to maintain the
temperature levels inside the Kimchi Refrigerator. This is a normal
operation.
The temperature
inside the Kimchi
Refrigerator is too
high.
- Check the power plug connection.
- Direct sunlight and heating appliances can decrease the Kimchi
Refrigerator’s performance. Make sure to install the Kimchi
Refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heating appliances.
- Secure at least 10cm of clearance between the Kimchi Refrigerator
and the walls to the rear and sides.
- If Kimchi (weak) storage function is selected, adjust it to Kimchi (mid)
or (strong). Use caution. The stored food might get frozen.
Frost/condensation
has formed on the
inner walls.
- Your Kimchi Refrigerator employs a direct cooling mechanism to
ensure the most optimal kimchi storage conditions. Frost formation
and condensation inside the chambers are natural phenomenon of
this cooling mechanism. (Caused by the convection current.)
- Frost or condensation can form if the ambient temperature or
humidity level is high, the Kimchi Refrigerator doors are left open for
a long time, or the Kimchi Refrigerator doors are opened and closed
too frequently.
- Some frost may form inside the product as a result of the moisture
level regulation used to keep kimchi fresh. This is not a malfunction.
The front/back
of the Kimchi
Refrigerator is hot.
- Your Kimchi Refrigerator uses heating pipes that prevent
condensation. Also, the Kimchi Refrigerator may feel hot when started
up for the first time or during summer. This is not a malfunction.
Kimchi stored in the
Kimchi Refrigerator
is becoming frozen.
- Items stored inside the Kimchi Refrigerator can freeze if the ambient
temperature around the Kimchi Refrigerator is too low.
- Your Kimchi Refrigerator employs a direct cooling mechanism, which
will cause fruit and vegetables to freeze if they come into direct
contact with the walls inside the chambers. Store fruit and vegetables
using the Kimchi Containers with the lids on and store items that can
freeze easily away from the inner walls.
- Wrapping items in paper towels will prevent them from softening and
make it possible to store them for a long time.
I can hear the sound
of water flowing.
- This could be the sound of the refrigerant or the sound of frost inside
the product melting. This is not a malfunction.
