Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not
work at all or it does not chill
sufficiently.
The food in the refrigerator is
frozen.
You hear sounds.
The front corners and
vertical hinged section of
the appliance are hot and
condensation is occurring.
• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?
Try setting it to a lower temperature.
• Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the Refrigerator so close to the wall that air cannot keep circulating?
(Refer to page 10 for the best location.)
• Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature?
Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low?
• Did you store the food too close to the air vent at the back of the Refrigerator?
Move the food away from the air vent.
• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from
circulating?
• Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator.
It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding
according to the temperature of the Refrigerator interior.
• 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.
You hear water bubbling in
the refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the
refrigerator.
Frost forms on the walls of
the Freezer.
Water dispenser is not
functioning.
(Water dispenser models only)
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature lower.
• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid circulating
through the Refrigerator.
• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors(for example, sh) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.
• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sufcient space between the foods stored for efcient air circulation.
• Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?
Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
• Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too low?
Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
