• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.

circulating?
• Try locating the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?
• A "ticking" sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and occurs
because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the
temperature of the Refrigerator interior.
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensation devices are installed in the vertical hinged
section of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door
open for a long time.
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature lower.
• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid circulating
through the Refrigerator.
• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors(for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled food.
• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.
• Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?
Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
