Normal phenomena
Button failure
Please check the control board whether the fridge under lock
mode. When under lock mode, all buttons can’t work.
Low voltage, the compressor can’t start
You should purchase pressurizer of more than 1000W when the
area of the appliance installation, that’s better to protect your
fridge.
Long time to start
When the ambient temperature too high, it will take long time to
start the appliance.
Middle beams feel hot
Middle beams feel hot after a period of time of the appliance
run, it belongs to the normal phenomenon.
Dew drops
When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the fridge,
dew drops can be formed.
If the humidity of the installed location is high or during the rainy
season, dew drops can form on the outer side of the fridge.This
is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the humid weather,
Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth.
Noise
When you operate the fridge for the first time, the fridge will op-
erate at high speed to cool fast and the sound can seem loud-
er.When the internal temperature falls below a certain level, the
noise will subside.
When the operation of the compressor is starting or end-
ing;various parts expanding/contracting or various control devic-
es operating or temperature change within the fridge, you will
hear the sounds, these are normal sounds.
Compressor hot
When working, the temperature of the compressor outer is more
than 80°C, please do not touch the compressor, it may cuase se-
rious injury.
Compressor long time running
When the ambient temperature too high or put too much fresh
foods into the fridge, it will take long time to cool down until the
appliance run at the setting temperature.
Abnormal odors in refrigerator
Odorous foods shall be packaged tightly; check for bad foods; the
inside of refrigerator shall be cleaned.
Ice maker failing to work normally
Whether the ice maker switch is turned on; whether the freezing
chamber door is closed or ajar; Whether the water valve is
opened; whether water supply is obstructed, or water pressure is
too low; Whether the temperature of freezing chamber is high
due to just power connection or frequent use;
Water leakage from ice outlet upon power-on for the first time
When the refrigerator is powered on for the first time, the sys-
tem will execute self-check; at the moment, there may be a little
water flowing out from the ice outlet of ice maker; this is self-
check action and is normal.
No ice out from dispenser
If the temperature of freezing chamber is high or the door is
opened and closed frequently, ice cubes in the ice storage box
may join together; take out ice cubes from the ice storage box,
break them and then put back, and discard ice that is not broken;
When the successive time of taking ice exceeds 1 minute, stop
for 5 minutes and then take ice again;
Whether the valve is opened, the ice maker starts to make ice af-
ter the water system works normally;
The door of freezing chamber is not closed, make sure that all
doors are closed.
No water out from dispenser
When the ambient temperature is lower than -2
℃
, no water will
come out due to low-temperature icing of the water pipe, and
try to take water after the ambient temperature rises;
If you take water for above 3 minutes once, the refrigerator will
execute automatic protection, release the ice discharge button
for a while, and then take water again.
Warm water out from dispenser
Because the water pipe has a section exposed outside the refrig-
erator, the temperature of the first cup of water taken may be
high, just continue to take water to get cold water.
Dispenser blocked
Ice melted is frozen on the screw rod, this is due to infrequent
use or sharp temperature change, or overvoltage. Empty the ice
storage box, clean, wipe dry, and then put back.
