Dew or Frost is generated

Dew is generated in
the refrigerator
compartment
Dew is generated on
refrigerator
Why frost and dew are generated?
When warm and humid air contacts something cold, dew is generated. For example, if you put some ice in the glass in your room,
air around the glass will be cold down and some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the glass.
In the same way, when warm and humid air enters into the refrigerator at the door opening, the warm and humid air contacts cold
inner wall and little dew may be generated.
Accordingly, if the door opening is too frequent or too long, dew will be accumulated at every door opening. In some cases,
dew may be frozen to generate some frost or ice flakes in the freezer compartment.

Possible causes and / or Recommended solutions
Please check not to pinch the food or plastic bag between
the door and door frame when you close the door.
When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened
when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture
in the air may be turned into some dew on the inner wall or
component of the refrigerator compartment, or around the
chilled air blow-off port. This is not failure . Please try not to
open the door too many times or for long time. Also, please
wipe off the dew in the refrigerator compartment with adry cloth.
The humidity of the vegetable compartment is higher than other
compartments. Accordingly, depending on the amount or type of
the vegetable, dew condensation may be generated on the plastic
case of vegetable compartment. However, this is not a failure.
When you do not want to have this kind of dew, please warp your
vegetables in a plastic flim. Also,when the dew condensation
happens many times, water may be accumulated
in the vegetable compartment. Please wipe the water off with a dry cloth.
When the humidity rises such as in rainy day, some dew many be generated on
the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please wipe the dew off with a dry cloth.
When the temperature setting is set as "Coldest", some dew may be
generated on the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please set the
setting as "Normal". Also, please wipe dew off with use of a dry cloth.
