POSSIBLE FAULT | POSSIBLE FAULT SOLUTION |
---|---|
Failed operation | Check whether the appliance is connected to power and/or |
whether the plug is securely plugged in.
Check whether the voltage is too low.
Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped.
Odor| Odorous food should be tightly wrapped.
Check whether there is any spoiled food.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
The compressor operates for a long time| Long operation of the refrigerator is
normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
Do not put too much food in the appliance at the same time.
Food should be cooled before being put into the appliance.
The doors are opened too frequently.
The condenser may be dirty and should be cleaned with care.
Light doesn’t turn on| Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power

Water pan overflows| There is too much food in the chamber or food stored
contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.
The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to the entry of
air and increased water due to defrosting.
Hot housing| This is heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the
housing, which is normal. When housing becomes hot due to high ambient
temperature and storage of too much food, it is recommended to provide sound
ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation. Hot housing can also be caused by
the refrigerator cooling frequently. This will be normal when hosting parties
or when the door is left open for long periods of time.
Surface condensation| Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of
the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Wipe the
condensation with a clean towel.
Abnormal noises| Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation and
the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.
Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce a creak and a
bubbling noise, which is normal.
Ice maker does not make ice| After you install the water line and start the
refrigerator, it may take 12 hours to start producing ice.
Turn on the ice making function (see page 20).
