TROUBLESHOOTING

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?

• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
•  If you select the 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.
• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
•  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 and 
sides 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 suspect 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.
