PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The appliance is not
operating at all or the
temperature is too high
or low.
Check the Refrigerator for the following:
•
Check if the power plug is correctly connected.
•
Check if the power fuse is blown.
•
Is the temperature control or control panel correctly set?
•
Does sun shine on the appliance or are there any heat sources nearby?
•
Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
•
Do not store the hot food till it comes to room temperature.
•
Did you leave the Refrigerator or freezer door open for a long time?
If a problem occurs, contact your service agents.
The food in the
Refrigerator is frozen.
•
Is the temperature control or control panel set to the coldest
temperature?
•
Is the surrounding temperature too low?
There are unusual
noises.
•
Check if the appliance is installed on a stable and even floor.
•
Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
•
Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?
•
Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?
•
A ticking sound occurs when the various accessories contract or
expand.
The front corners
and sides of the
appliance are warm and
condensation starts to
form.
•
Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to
prevent condensation from forming.
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be
effective. However, this is not abnormal.
•
In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of
the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the
cool surface of the appliance.
You can hear a liquid
bubbling in the
appliance.
•
This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.
There is a bad smell
inside the appliance.
•
Is there any spoiled food inside of the Refrigerator?
•
Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so
that it is airtight.
•
Clean out your Refrigerator periodically and throw away any spoiled or
suspect food.
There is a layer of frost
on the appliances walls.
•
Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the Refrigerator?
•
Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.
•
Is the door fully closed?
Condensation forms on
the inside wall of the
appliance and around
vegetables.
•
Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high
humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.
•
Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
