Loud noises
Check that the floor is level and the refrigerator is
firmly supported.
Check that refrigerator accessories are placed in the
correct locations.
Door is sometimes
difficult to open
After refrigeration, there will be a pressure difference
between the inside and outside of the refrigerator
that makes it more difficult to open the door occa-
sionally. This is normal.
Exterior of refrig-
erator is hot or
wet with conden-
sation
The exterior of the refrigerator may emit heat during
operation, especially in summer, this is caused by
heat radiating from the condenser, and is a normal
phenomenon.
Condensation: condensation may appear on the ex-
terior surface and door seals of the refrigerator when
the ambient humidity is high; this is normal, and the
condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.
Buzzing or gur-
gling sounds
Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will
produce occasional gurgling sounds which are nor-
mal and do not affect the cooling performance.
The refrigerator can make a buzzing sound, espe-
cially when starting up or shutting down.
The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter,
which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect
the operation.
