Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The appliance is not
operating at all or the
temperature is too high.

Check that the power plug is correctly connected.•
Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly set?•
Does sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?•
Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?•

The food in the refrigerator
is frozen.

Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest •
temperature?
Is the surrounding temperature too low?•
Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part •
of the fridge?

There are unusual noises.

Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level fl oor.•
Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?•
Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?•
Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?•
A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this is normal. •
This sound occurs when the various accessories contract or expand.

The front corners and
sides of the appliance are
warm and condensation
starts to form.

Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance •
to prevent condensation from forming.
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be
effective. However, this is not abnormal.
In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer •
surface of the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into
contact with the cool surface of the appliance.

Ice Maker is not producing
ice.

Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the refrigerator before •
making ice?
Did you manually stop the ice making function?•
Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer •
temperature lower.
Did you fi ll the water tank with water?•
Did you check fi tting the water tank correctly ?•

Water dispenser is not
functioning.

Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low?•
Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.
Did you fi ll with water in water tank?•
Did you check fi tting the water tank correctly ?•

You can hear a liquid
bubbling in the appliance.

This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.•

There is a bad smell inside
the appliance.

Has a food item spoiled?•
Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped •
so that it is airtight.
Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or •
suspect food.

There is a layer of frost on
the appliance walls.

Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the refrigerator.•
Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.•
Is the door fully closed?•

Condensation forms on
the inside wall of the
appliance and around
vegetables.

Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high •
humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.
Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.•
