SOLUTION
• 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?
• 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?
• Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor.
•
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.
• 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.
• This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.
•
Has a food item spoiled?
• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that
it is airtight.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect
food.
• 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?
• 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.
