The outer walls
h e a t u p ; w i n d

of the freezer case?
1 Is your television or other appliances
located near the refrigerator?
2 Is the refrigerator's power outlet close
to the antennae drop area?
1 Sounds suddenly get louder or tone changes
during first operation, when temperature is hot,
when doors are opened and closed frequently,
during QUICK MODE, etc.
2 Rattling, squeaking sounds
sometimes (every 1-2 hours)
3 Choking, squeaking sounds after turning on
power, sometimes during ice making (every 1-
2 hours)
4 Whistle sounds after closing doors, etc.

1 The unit is equipped with side and ceiling heat ventilation prevention piping and on bottom
with a fan to promote heat ventilation. When unit is first operated or during the summer,
exterior walls become especially hot (approximately 50-60˚C) and warm air can flow from
below the unit. These are necessary devices for cooling the unit; resulting heat is not abnormal.
The anti-freeze heater is turned on.
This is a normal phenomenon.
s
Solutions and reasons
1 Be careful not to stick any stored foods out
of the shelves or cases.
2 Remove the dropped or pinched items. Be
careful not to pinch foods, power cables
or plastic bags.
3 Pull the front adjustment legs out to set the
refrigerator with the slightly longer front legs,
causing easier door closing.
1 Improper installation or any foreign object might
produce a clearance. Then the cold air can flow
backward to cause freezing.
2 The cold air flows backward to cause
freezing. Remove the dropped food.
1 Relocate unit at a distance from
televisions and other appliances.
2 Use a dedicated power source and
ground the unit.
1 The unit has switched to high-speed operation for
powerful cooling.
2 These are sounds made during automatic ice
making. The unit's automatic ice maker and pump
make a sound every 100 minutes or so, regardless
of whether or not the tank is filled with water.
3 These are sounds made during automatic ice
making operation check. This sound is made even
during "ICE (STOP)" mode.
4 This is a sound made when the fan motor stops
and starts.
5 These are sounds made during gas flow.
6 This is a creaking sound made when warm air has
penetrated the unit, causing plastic parts to expand.
7 This is a sound made during coolant valve
operation check.
8 The sound is made when the air control damper
operates.
