Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The refrigerator
does not work at
all or it does not
chill sufficiently.
•
Check if the power plug is properly connected.
•
Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or
fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
•
Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
If so, it may not be able to cool sufficiently. Install it in a location that is out of direct
sunlight and not near a heat source.
•
Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
If so, it may not be able to cool sufficiently. Keep it an appropriate distance from the
wall.
•
Is there too much food inside so that the food is blocking the outlet vent?
To keep the refrigerator at a suitable temperature, do not fill the refrigerator with too
much food.
The food in the
fridge is frozen.
•
Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
•
Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
•
Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
•
Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator?
Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in
the colder areas or bins.
You hear unusual
noise or sounds.
•
Check if the refrigerator is level and stable.
•
Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
•
Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
•
If you hear a “ticking” sound from inside the refrigerator, this is normal.
It occurs because various parts contract or expand in response to temperature
changes in the refrigerator interior.
•
If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is
normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.
The cabinet-door
sealing area of the
appliance is hot
and condensation
is occurring.
•
Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section
of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
•
Is the refrigerator door ajar?
Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.
Ice Maker is not
producing ice.
•
It may take longer to make ice if it is not sufficiently cool, such as when first
installed.
•
Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
•
Did you manually stop the ice making function?
•
Check if the filter is properly installed. If it is not properly installed, the ice making
function may not work.
You can hear water
bubbling in the
refrigerator.
•
This is normal.
The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.
There is a bad
smell in the
refrigerator.
•
Check for spoiled food.
•
Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
•
Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.
