3. Looks Out lf Order, But, Not.

■ Before calling for service, check the followings.

■ Has the temperature been on “3” continuously?

■ Is the temperature near refrigerator less than 5˚C?

■ Was moist foods such as vegetables placed just in front of the cold air duct?

Refrigerator never get cold.

■ Is there no power failure?

■ Is the mains play firmly secure.

Refrigerator does not get cold enough.

■ Has the temperature been on “1” continuously? Set the temperature to “2”.

■ Has too hot food put in? Check food storage state.

■ Is the inside filled with too much food?

■ Is either door open or did you open and shut the doors too often?

■ Is there a gas range or a stove near the refrigerator? Is it in direct sun-light? Check the installation place.

Refrigerator is noisy.

■ Is the floor firm and level or the refrigerator levelled well ?

■ Is the back of refrigerator touching the wall ?

Moisture collects inside.

■Check if either door is open.

■Did you leave the doors open too long or is moist food put with its lid off ?

Moisture disappears naturally if doors are closed, but it’s better to wipe it off with dry cloth.

Water is flowing out when moving the refrigerator.

■Have you dried and emptied the evaporator dish?

Something smells.

■Air ducts blocked with foods ?

■Is strong odoring food stored unwrapped ? Check the food storage state.

*The vegetable cases are closed, so deodorazing is almost impossible.
