It is Normal...

The following occurrences are normal. 

Noise

Occurrence

When you hear a blunt
sound

When you hear
"Deureureuk~", "Dulkuk" or
"Woong" sound

When you hear "Gurgling"
sound of water flowing

When you hear a "Whoosh"
sound right after you close
the door

When you hear the
vibrating sound

When you hear a loud
sound after installing the
product for the first time

Solution

This is the sound of various parts expanding/contracting
or various control devices operating depending on the
temperature change within the refrigerator. 

This is the count of compressor or fan operating when
the operation of the refrigerator is starting or ending. This
is the same phenomenon of the sound generated when
starting or turning off the engine of a car. 

This is the sound of refrigerant changing the condition in
the freezer/fridge. When the liquid changes to gas, you
will hear the sound of water flowing and when gas
changes to liquid, you will hear the "Kureureuk" sound. 

This is the sound generated when the internal pressure is
temporarily lowered when the warm air entered through
the fridge or freezer is cooled fast. 

If the refrigerator is installed on wooden floor or wooden
wall, or if the refrigerator is not leveled properly, the
sound can be loud from the vibration. 

When you operate the refrigerator for the first time, the
refrigerator will operate at high speed to cool fast and the
sound can seem louder. When the internal temperature
falls below a certain level, the noise will subside. 

Door open

When the door is slightly
opened after closing the
door.

When closing refrigerator
door, freezer door open
and close.

Depending on the fore or speed of closing the fridge or
freezer door, the door can open slightly and then get
closed. Be careful not to close the door to hard. 

It is linked between the refrigerator and freezer in order to
make cold air circulation. So, When close the refrigerator
door, air in the refrigerator go into freezer. It makes
freezer door open. Please relax as is not breakdown.

When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the
refrigerator, icing/dew drops can be formed. 
Especially, this will happen more easily when you open
and close the refrigerator door more frequently. 
Also if the humidity of the installed location is high or
during the rainy season or on a rainy day, dew drops can
form on the outer side of the refrigerator. This is a
natural phenomenon that occurs during the humid
weather. Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth. 

Heat pipes are installed around the front part of the
refrigerator and on the divider of the freezer and fridge to
prevent the dew drops from forming. The refrigerator
may feel warmer after the installation or during the hot
summer, but this is not a problem and you can be rest
assured. 

Icing/

Dew drops

When there is icing or
dew drops formed on the
inner or outer side of the
refrigerator

Temperature

When the front side of the
refrigerator is warm
