SOLUTION
• Check if 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 any heat sources nearby?
• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
• Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest
temperature?
• Is the surrounding temperature too low?
• Check if the appliance is installed on a stable and even fl oor.
• Is the back of the appliance too close 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 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.
• Is there any spoiled food inside of the refrigerator?
• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped so
that it is airtight.
• Clean out your refrigerator 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.
