TROUBLESHOOTING

troubleshooting

The Refrigerator does not 
work at all or it does not 
chill sufficiently.

•  Check that the power plug is properly connected.

•  Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct 

temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

•  Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

•  Is the back of the refrigerator so close to the wall that air cannot keep 

circulating? (Refer to page 10 for the best location.)

The food in the
Refrigerator is frozen.

•  Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature? 

Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

•  Is the temperature in the room too low?

•  Did you store the food too close to the air vent at the back of the 

refrigerator? Move the food away from the air vent.

You hear unusual noise or 
sounds.

•  Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

•  Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping 

air from circulating?

•  Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

•  A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and 

occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding 
according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.

The front corners and 
horizontal hinged section of 
the appliance are hot and 
condensation is occurring.

•  Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the horizontal 

hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

•  Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the 

door open for a long time.

Ice Maker is not 
producing ice. (Option)

•  Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before 

making ice?

•  Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

•  Did you manually stop the ice making function?

•  Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature 

lower.

You hear water bubbling 
in the Refrigerator.

•  This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerator coolant liquid 

circulating through the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in 
the Refrigerator.

•  Check for spoiled food.

•  Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.

•  Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or 

suspicious food.

Frost forms on the walls 
of the Freezer.

•  Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate 

freely.

•  Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air 

circulation.

•  Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

•  When the automatic ice maker is on, ice is made in the ice container. After the ice is

   made, the container inverts and the ice falls into the storage compartment and     
   water flows through the water valve. These operations cause noise at regular 

   intervals, but that noise is normal.
