PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The appliance is not 
operating at all or the 
temperature is too high.
• Check if the power plug is correctly connected.
•  Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly set?
•  Does sun shine on the appliance or are there any heat 
sources nearby?
•  If you select the POWER OFF on the control Panel, 
compressor does not work.
The food in the 
refrigerator is frozen.
•  Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the 
coldest temperature?
• Is the surrounding temperature too low?
There are unusual noises.
•  Check if the appliance is installed on a stable and even floor.
•  Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?
• Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?
•  A ticking sound occurs when the various accessories 
contract or expand.
The front corners  of the 
appliance are warm and 
condensation starts to 
form.
•  Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the 
appliance to prevent condensation from forming. 
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not 
always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.
•  In very humid weather, condensation may form on the 
outer surface of the appliance when the moisture in the air 
comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.
You can hear a liquid 
bubbling in the appliance.
•  This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the 
appliance.
There is a bad smell 
inside the appliance.
• Is there any spoiled food inside of the refrigerator? 
•  Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is 
wrapped so that it is airtight.
•  Clean out your refrigerator periodically and throw away any 
spoiled or suspected food.
There is a layer of frost 
on the appliances walls.
•  Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the 
refrigerator?
•  Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.
• Is the door fully closed?
condensation forms on 
the inside wall of the 
appliance and around 
vegetables.
•  Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a 
high humidity level or the door has been left open for a  
long time.
• Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
