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?
• If you select the OFF on the control Panel, Compressor
does not work.
• 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 floor.
• 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, fish) 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.
