Ice Dispenser and Water Dispenser
Problem

Point to be checked

● Is there any object between the refrigerator leg and
the floor where it is installed ?
● Is the rear face touching a wall, etc. ?
● Did the leg adjuster cover come off ?
● Sometimes the normal operating sound of the
refrigerator gets louder.
● A sound like running water is emitted.
● A knocking sound.
● A sound like something is boiling (a bubbling sound).
● A sizzling sound like when meat is being cooked.
● A sound like something stuck in a machine.

● A cracking sound. (This is heard inside the refrigerator
when the door is opened.
● A hissing sound right after the door is closed.
●
Has strong-smelling food been put inside without
being wrapped ?
●
Food smells like plastic.
●
The heat exhaust pipe and fan release the heat inside
the refrigerator, so they might become hot.
●
The refrigerator occasionally accumulates static
electricity, but this is not a safety concern.
●
This is caused by a temporary drop in air pressure
due to the suddenly cooling of the air entering inside
the refrigerator.
●
The compartments are connected by a cold air
pathway, so the air pressure from the closing of one
door might cause the other door to open temporarily.

Detailed Check Points and Countermeasures
● Install the refrigerator on a stable, level floor, or in a place
with a stable board under it.
● Install the refrigerator in a location with enough
space around it.
● Securely attach the leg adjuster cover.
● After installation, the refrigerator operates at full power to cool
its interior, so it will make a louder sound.
● This is the sound of the cooling fluid (refrigerant) flowing
through the cooling device. This sound might also be heard
when the compressor has stopped.
● This is the sound of parts, such as the motor, which control
the temperature inside the refrigerator running.
● This is the sound of the plastic creaking due to a change in
temperature (when the door is opened).
● This is the sound of a temporary drop in air pressure when
the air that entered into the refrigerator is suddenly cooled.
●
The deodorizing function will not remove all odor.
●
Either wrap or seal such foods.
●
This is because many plastic parts are used inside
the refrigerator. As your food cools, the odor will gradually
go away.
●
The temperature in these locations might reach 50 ºC to 60 ºC
immediately after your refrigerator is installed. This is not
abnormal.
●
If this becomes an annoyance, earthing the refrigerator
main body is recommended.
●
The door might feel heavy for a moment, but it will soon feel
normal again.
●
Closing the doors slowly will eliminate this problem.
● This indicates that the refrigerator is runnning is store-display mode.
● The refrigerator will not cool while running in store-display mode.
● Turn off the store-display mode by.
1. Power off and Power on the refrigerator again.
2. After that the refrigerator will return to normal mode.
