TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4-5. Others
Problems
The refrigerator case is hot.
Small holes in a door liner
Electric bills are too much.
Condensation on the inside
wall of the refrigerator
compartment and the cover of
properly vegetable drawer.
When is the power connected?
Door does not open properly.
The front should
be a little bit higher
than the rear.
I Explain the principles of radiator.
• The radiator pipes are installed in the refrigerator case and partition plate
between the refrigerator and the freezer compartment in order to prevent
condensation formation. Particularly in summer or after installation of
refrigerator, it may feel hot but it is normal. If there is not enough space to
dissipate heat, it can be hotter due to lack of heat radiation. Please install a
refrigerator in a well-ventilated place and leave the clearance between
refrigerator and wall:
I Explain that the hole is for releasing air during the manufacturing process.
• These small holes in the plastic of the refrigerator allow the plastic parts to
be molded and the foam insulation to be pumped in. The holes allow the air
to be expelled so there are no bubbles.
I If the electric bill seems high, make sure the refrigerator is the cause rather than
a general increase in the cost of electricity. This refrigerator may be larger than
your previous refrigerator, and therefore require more power.
I Explain how to store foods
• Condensation forms when refrigerator is installed at damp area, door is
frequently opened, and wet foods are not stored in the air tight container or
wrapped. Be sure to store wet foods in airtight containers or securely covered in
plastic wrap.
I When should the power be connected ?
• You can connect the power immediately after installation. However, if the
refrigerator was laid flat before or during installation, you must stand it upright
for 6 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant oils to return to the
sump in the compressor. If you operate the refrigerator before the oil has had a
chance to settle, you could damage the compressor.
I Refrigerator compartment door does not open properly.
• When the door is opened, warm air goes inside the refrigerator. When it cools,
it creates a slight vacuum, which makes the door a little harder to open. This will
diminish over time.
I When the refrigerator compartment door is opened and closed, the freezer
compartment door moves up and down.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened and closed, fresh air comes into
the freezer compartment and moves up and down the freezer compartment door.
I Door opens too easily.
• There is a magnet in the gasket so it closes securely without a gap. It can be
held open easily if something is in the way and obstructs the door's closing.
I Door does not close properly.
• If the refrigerator is not properly leveled, the doors will not close easily. Adjust
the level using the leveling screws under the front of the refrigerator.
