Troubleshooting

This is not a malfunction of the refrigerator.

The surface of the

refrigerator is hot.

If a d

oor is shut,

other doors may open.

D

oes the refrigerator make any 

ab

normal noises (sound)

?

 

The refrigerator is equipped with the dew pr

e

vention and heat radiation tubes. 

    

The back and side plates may be heated es

pe

cially when starting up or if the door is frequently opened and closed.

 The two compartments are connected with an

 air duct. When closing one of the doors, the door may be opened by

    the air pressure through the duct. This is a normal phenomenon.

 

The sound like water flowing and boiling water is the sound of the cooling liquid (refrigerant).

There are waving and/or distortions

on the door surface, the side and

the top surface of the refrigerator.

 Slight waving and/or distortions are generated in the manufacturing process of the refrigerator.

    They may be conspicuous according to the position of the light source and/or the brightness etc.,

    but there is no problem with the performance. 

 

A creaking sound comes from the storage compartment. It is the sound caused by friction of the parts due to temperature change

.
