Troubleshooting. Check the following before calling the service centre

Symptom
Spurting, spitting sound
Tapping sound
whining or humming sound
The refrigerator has just been installed but
the noise is too loud!
- The sound may be heard when the refrigerant inside the refrigerator flows as a
gas and a liquid.
- In addition, the frost attached to the cooler may generate a sound like a 'chikchik'
or 'bukbuk' and so on when the frost melts.
Since this is normal and not a problem, please use the refrigerator without
worries.
- The sound may be generated when the parts inside of the refrigerator expand or
shrink as the temperature inside the refrigerator changes.
- When the frost covering the cooler melts, a similar sound may be heard.
Since this is normal and is not a problem, please use the refrigerator without
worries.
- These sounds may be generated by the compressor or fan when the refrigerator
starts or ends the operation. The sound may be louder or softer as the
compressor or fan rotates faster or slower depending on the surrounding
temperature or the status within the refrigerator.
The reason for the sound is similar to the sound that is heard when you start or
stop the engine of a vehicle or you accelerate a vehicle. Since this is normal and
not a problem, please use the refrigerator without worries.
- When the refrigerator starts for the first time or restarts after the power has been
cut, the compressor and fan rotate faster to decrease the temperature inside the
refrigerator. At this time, the sound may be loud but the noise will decrease as
the temperature inside the refrigerator decreases. Since this is normal and not a
problem, please use the refrigerator without concern.
