Something strange? Don’t worry. Here is the answer
Case
Explanation
Heat
Front and side of
refrigerator feels warm
or hot.
Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the surface
•
to prevent moisture forming on it.
Door is sticky
Doors do not open
easily.
When you close the door and then open again
•
immediately, the door is not easy to open. Warm air
rushes into the inside to make the pressure difference.
In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily.
Strange Sound
It sounds like water
is fl owing from the
refrigerator.
When the compressor starts to run or stops, refrigerant
•
which makes the inside cold fl owing in the pipes can
make such a sound.
Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This
•
refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.)
Something cracking or
click sound.
Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to temperature
•
change – When the inside gets cold or when the door is
open – such sound can be made.
Humming or buzz sound.
Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make
•
such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level, the
sound can be louder.)
Frost & Dew
Dew or frost on the wall
and/or food container
surface in the freezer and
refrigerator compartment.
Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases:
High temperature and/or high humidity around the
•
refrigerator.
When doors are open too long.
•
Foods with much moisture are stored uncovered or
•
unwrapped.
You can see the same appearance when cold water
–
is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming on the
surface of it.
Dew on the interior lights
cover.
The light bulb radiates heat while it is on, so when doors
•
are open too long, dew can form on the light cover due
to temperature difference.
Dew on the cabinet
surface.
In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator,
•
moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form the dew.
