Ice is not dispensed

You can hear water bub-
bling in the refrigerator
There is a bad smell in
the refrigerator

Frost forms on the wall of
the freezer

ed near a heat source?

the wall?

panel set to the correct temperature?

• Did you store the food with a high water

content in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too near to the

wall?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the

refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside

the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs
because various accessories contract or
expand.

• Anti-condensators are installed in the front

corners of the refrigerator to prevent con-
densation.

door open for a long time.

• Is the water pipe connected and the shut-off

valve open?

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation

of the water supply line before making ice?

circulating in the refrigerator and is normal.

tight. Throw away any rotten food.

• Is the air vent blocked?
• Is the door closed properly?
• Is the water pipe connected and the shut-off

valve open?

• Is the water supply pipe crushed?
• Is the water tank frozen because the refrig-

erator temperature is too low? Select a
warmer setting on the display panel.

• Leveling legs need adjusting

• Check that the power plug is properly con-

nected.

• Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Move the refrigerator to the proper loca-

tion.

• Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
