When this happens
Please check. This is the cause.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Frost and/or dew occur
Refrigerator cools overly
Dew condensation
Frost and/or dew 
adhere to the 
refrigerator interior 
or the frame 
of the drawer 
compartment.
Dew condensation 
occurs in the 
Refrigerator 
Compartment
Dew adheres to 
the outside of 
the refrigerator 
(exterior, door seal, 
door and drawer 
compartment etc).
Dew condensation 
occurs in the 
Vegetable 
Compartment
● The door or the drawer compartment may not temporarily have been closed completely.
→ Check whether the drawer compartment or the door has been closed completely after closing 
them.
● The door may be opened/closed frequently or door may have remained open for a long time.
→ Reduce the number of times of opening and closing the door or open/close the door quickly.
● Dew may adhere to the wall and/or frost may adhere 
around the outlet of the cooling air of the aluminum 
panel when the number of opening/closing the door is 
large or humidity around the refrigerator is high.
→ Wipe off them with a dry cloth.
● Dew may adhere to those parts when the indoor humidity is high (ex: rainy day).
● Frost and/or dew may adhere to the refrigerator interior or the door frame when the warm outside 
air comes in contact with those parts.
→ Wipe off with a dry cloth.
● The humidity in the Vegetable Compartment is higher than other compartments. (To prevent 
vegetables from drying and to make them last longer)
→ If it is undesirable that dew adheres to the stored vegetables, wrap them with the plastic fi lm.
● Water may drop into cases placed in the Vegetable Compartment due to dew concentration.
→ Wipe off them with a dry cloth.
Refrigerator 
cools overly 
Foods freeze
● 
“MAX.” is selected in the temperature setting. → Switch it to “MID.”. 
Pg.41, 43
● The surrounding temperature is lower than 5˚C. → The temperature inside may go down too 
much when the ambient air temperature is low. Switch the temperature setting to 
“MIN.”. 
Pg.41, 43
● Do not place any food in front of the cold air blowout port.
Aluminum panel
Door is not in a horizontal state
Door is not in a 
horizontal state
Another door 
opens after 
closing one 
door.
More force is 
required to 
open the door 
immediately after 
closing the door.
● Installation place may not be horizontal.
Left side or right side of the door may be slightly lower when the left or right leg is sunk in the 
fl oor surface because of the soft fl oor material and the addition of food weight.
→ This does not affect the refrigerator performance. Adjust the refrigerator adjustable mount to keep 
it level if you want to correct it. 
Pg.36
→ Lay the fi rm board which has more than 1cm thickness on the fl oor if the refrigerator itself 
inclines.
● Another door may open for a moment by the wind pressure because cool air path connects each 
compartment.
● It is because air entered the Refrigerator Compartment is rapidly cooled and the pressure in the 
Refrigerator Compartment temporarily lowers.
The refrigerator becomes hot
The side of the 
refrigerator becomes 
hot. Hot air comes 
from the bottom of 
the refrigerator
● Hot air may come from the bottom of the refrigerator to exhaust the heat generated when the 
cooling device operates.
→ The temperature may reach 50 ∼ 60˚C immediately after installation or in summer, but there is no 
problem with the safety and the performance.
