content in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too near to the
wall?
• Was anything dropped behind or under the
refrigerator?
• A "ticking" sound may be heard from inside
the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs
because various accessories contract or
expand.
• HOT-PIPE is installed in the front corners of
refrigerator. That makes refrigerator's
temperature low quickly and save the power
consumption.
• Condensation can occur when you leave the
door open for a long time.
• Did you stop the ice making function?
• Is there any ice in the storage unit?
• Is the water pipe connected and the shut-off
valve open?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm?
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation
of the water supply line before making ice?
• The bubbling comes from the refrigerant
circulating in the refrigerator and is normal.
• Wrap strong smelling food so that it is
airtight. Throw away any rotten food.
• Is the air vent blocked?
• Is the door closed properly?
• Is the water pipe connected and the shut-off
valve open?
• Is the water supply pipe crushed?
• Is the water tank frozen because the
refrigerator temperature is too low? Select a
warmer setting on the display panel.
