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?

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.
