- Power plug not properly plugged in
- No power supply, failure of power socket
- Fridge power cut off during operation and reconnected not more
than five minutes later
- Fridge door not properly shut
- Fridge close to heat source or exposed to direct sunlight
- Poor ventilation around fridge, causing slow heat dissipation
- Frequent opening of fridge door or the door not properly shut
- Poor ventilation around fridge, causing slow heat dissipation
a long time
- A large amount of food put to storage at a time, leaving little
space for chilling air ventilation
- Refrigerating temperature set too low, higher temperature setting
Refrigerator
for refrigerator chamber recommended
- Food stored in contact with chilling source on back wall of
food frozen
refrigerator chamber
- To prevent water condensation at the box frame, there
configured anti-condensation tubes inside the box frame which is

start relay, overheat protector and other electrical elements
"Boom"
produce sounds like "click" or "Boom" due to frequent pick-ups
or offs.
- Fridge produces sound of cracking due to temperature change
that causes cracking of frozen food or due to thermal expansion
or "Poop"
and contraction of evaporator and pipeline.
