NORMAL PHENOMENON

Phenomenon
Front and sides of refrigerator
is warm or hot.
Doors cannot be opened easily.
Water flowing sound comes
from the refrigerator.
Cracking sound comes from
the refrigerator.
Humming or buzz sound comes from
the refrigerator.
Dew or frost on the wall and/or
food container surface in the
freezer and refrigerator
compartment.
Dew on the interior lights cover.
Dew on the cabinet surface.
Explanation
• Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the
surface to prevent moisture formation on it.
• When you close the door and open again
immediately. The door cannot be opened easily.
Warm air goes inside to form the pressure
difference. In this case wait for a minute to open it.
• When the compressor starts to run or stops,
refrigerant flowing in the pipes can make such a
sound.
• Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This
refrigerator adopts automatic defrosting system.)
• Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to
temperature change —When the inside gets cold
or when the door is open —such sound can be
heard.
• Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can
make such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not
level, such sound may be louder.)
Frost and/or dew may appear in the following cases:
• High temperature and/or high humidity around the
refrigerator
• When doors are open for long time
• Foods with lots of moisture are stored uncovered
or unwrapped
• You can find a same phenomenon when cold
water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming
on the surface of it.
• The light bulb radiates heat while it is on, so when
doors are open too long, dew can form on the light
cover due to temperature difference.
• In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator,
moisture in the air condensate on the surface and
form the dew.
