Symptoms

Reason

Solution

It is difficult to open 

the appliance door.

Did you open the door right 

after you closed it?

 

If you try to open the appliance door 

within one minute after you closed it, 

you may have difficulties because of 

the pressure inside the appliance. 

Try to open the appliance door again 

in a few minutes so that the internal 

pressure stabilizes.

There is condensation 

inside the appliance 

or on the bottom of 

the vegetable drawer 

cover.

Did you store hot food without 

cooling it first?

 

Cool the hot food first before putting 

it in the fridge or freezer 

compartment.

Did you leave the appliance 

door open?

 

Although the condensation will 

disappear soon after you close the 

appliance door, you can wipe it with 

a dry cloth.

Do you open and close the 

appliance door too frequently?

 

Condensation can form due to the 

temperature difference from the 

outside. Wipe out the dampness with 

a dry cloth.

Did you put warm or moist 

food inside without sealing it 

in a container?

 

Store food in a covered or sealed 

container.

Frost has formed in 

the freezer 

compartment.

Doors may not be closed 

properly?

 

Check if the food item inside the 

appliance is blocking the door and 

make sure that the door is tightly 

closed.

Did you store hot food without 

cooling it first?

 

Cool the hot food first before putting 

it in the fridge or freezer 

compartment.

Is the air entry or exit of the 

freezer compartment blocked?

 

Make sure that air entry or exit is not 

blocked so that the air can circulate 

inside.

Is the freezer compartment 

overfilled?

 

Maintain an appropriate space 

between items.

Frost or condensation 

has formed inside or 

outside the appliance.

Did you open and close the 

appliance door frequently or is 

the appliance door improperly 

closed?

 

Frost or condensation can form if the 

outside air penetrates inside the 

appliance.

Is the installation environment 

humid?

 

Condensation can appear on the 

exterior of the appliance if the 

installation area is too humid or on a 

humid day such as a rainy day. Wipe 

off any moisture with a dry cloth.
