When this happens
Frost and/or dew adhere
to the refrigerator interior
or the frame of the drawer
compartment.
Dew adheres to the outside
of the refrigerator (exterior,
door seal, door and drawer
compartment etc).
Dew condensation
occurs in the Refrigerator
Compartment.
Dew condensation
occurs in the Vegetable
Compartment.
Refrigerator cools overly
Food freeze.
Door is not in a horizontal
state.
More force is required to
open the door immediately
after closing the door.
Another door opens after
closing 1 door.
Annoying sound is
generated by the
refrigerator.
Operation sound lasts long.
Operation sound sometimes
becomes louder.
When other sounds such
as shown in the right
table are generated by the
refrigerator.
The side of the refrigerator
becomes hot. Hot air comes from
the bottom of the refrigerator.
Check Item
The door or the drawer compartment may not be closed completely.
The door may be opened/closed frequently or door may remain open for
a long time.
Frost or condensation may be formed when the warm air contacts with
inside the compartment or the door frame.
Frost or condensation is formed on the wall or any part of the freezer
compartment due to the moisture in the air when the door is opened or closed.
Dew may adhere to those parts when the indoor humidity is high (ex:
rainy day).
When the dew-proof heater is set to low, high humidity may cause
condensation on the iron partition, the door gasket or the door.
When the temperature is set to "Max.", it may cause condensation on the
surface of the door.
Condensation may form on the wall and/
or around the cold air blowout port when
the door is opened and closed frequently
or the humidity is high around the
refrigerator.
The humidity in the Vegetable Compartment is higher than other
compartments. (To prevent vegetables from drying and to make them
last longer)
Water may drop into cases placed in the Vegetable Compartment due to
dew concentration.
"Max." is selected in the temperature setting.
The surrounding temperature is lower than 5˚C.
Is it placed in front of the Cold Air Blowout Port?
The installation site may not be level.
Does the soft floor material sink in around the legs due to the weight of
stored items?
It is because the air that entered the Refrigerator Compartment is rapidly
cooled and the pressure in the Refrigerator Compartment temporarily
lowers.
Another door may open for a moment by the wind pressure because cool
air path connects each compartment.
Does the floor bend?
Does the refrigerator come in contact with the wall or furniture, etc.?
Does the leg cover come off?
You may feel that the operation sound is loud because the compressor
operates in high-speed under the following conditions: the refrigerator
does not cool fully on the occasion such as using it for the first time,
opening/closing the door frequently, the surrounding temperature is high.
When it is set to "Quick Freeze"/"Quick Cool"/"Quick", operation sound
of the compressor or the fan motor gets louder because of high-speed
revolution.
It is because the compressor operates in low-speed for conserving energy.
It is because the system changes the operating power of the refrigerator
according to the temperature change.
Sound like water flowing (trickling)
Sound like collision (tapping)
Sound like water boiling (bubbling up)
Sound like meat roasting (sizzling)
Sound like squeaking (cracking) (knocking)
Sound like something is caught (clacking)
Sound like roaring (honking)
Sound caused immediately after closing the door (booming)
Sounds caused by the Automatic ice maker
(zooming)
(rattling)
(clunking)
Sound occurs sometimes (clacking)
Hot air may come from the bottom of the refrigerator to exhaust the heat
generated when the cooling device operates.
How to solve/repair
Check whether the drawer compartment or the door has been closed
completely after closing them.
Reduce frequency of opening and closing the door or open/close the door
quickly.
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
No trouble
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
No trouble
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
No trouble
Cancel the settings of the condensation prevention heater.
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Please set the temperature to "Mid.".
No trouble
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Dew condensation
If it is undesirable that dew adheres to the stored vegetables, wrap them
with the plastic film.
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Switch it to "Mid.".
When the ambient temperature is low, the inside of the refrigerator may
cool overly. Switch the temperature setting to "Min.".
Do not place any food in front of the cold air blowout port.
This does not affect the refrigerator performance. Adjust the refrigerator
adjustable mount to keep it level if you want to correct it.
Lay a firm board which has more than 1cm thickness on the floor if the
refrigerator itself inclines.
This is not malfunction.
This is not malfunction.
Lay a firm board and then install the refrigerator thereon.
Install the refrigerator with clearance around it.
Install it firmly.

The sound becomes soft after cooling fully.
The compressor operates at low speed at night, for long vacations or
absences, potentially developing large vibrations.
This is not malfunction.
This is not malfunction.
This is not malfunction.
These sounds are caused when the refrigerant flows or water flows/
evaporates to remove frost.
This is not malfunction.
This sound is caused because the parts squeaks when the refrigerator
temperature changes.
This is not malfunction.
These sounds are caused when the electric parts to control
the refrigerator temperature operates.
This is not malfunction.
These sounds are made when ice is separated from the ice tray of the
auto ice maker or water is supplied to the ice tray. These sounds are also
heard every 2 or 3 hours when the water supply container is empty.
This is not malfunction.
To stop the sound, touch the

This sound is caused when the refrigerator starts the operation to cool.
The temperature may rise to 50 – 60 ˚C immediately after installation or
during summer.
It does not pose safety or performance problems, but avoid touching it.
