Diagnosis and Trouble Shooting
Please read the following carefully, the following are not defects:
When compressor is operating, the normal surface temperature is between 80~90
C.
There are heat pipes stored inside the unit to prevent “sweating” on the outer surface,
which becomes a little warm. There is a condenser used to dissipate heat, inside both
of the inner-storing side plates, so they are slight warm.
After starting or stopping of the compressor, a “ping-peng” sound may be heard. This
is due to the evaporator in the cold-storing chamber is defrosting and water on the
surface is being condensed.
Sometimes you may hear sounds of running or boiling water, this results from the
flowing of refrigerant.
When relative humidity is quite high, condensation would take place on the unit’s
surface. This is natural, please wipe off with dry cloth, or move fridge to a place with
good ventilation.
While the temperature regulator is set to any of the ON position and the compressor
sops operating, there may still be a small reading on the kilowatt-hour meter. This
means defrosting is underway and consuming very small amount of power.
Not Refrigerating at All
Is the power cord loose from the outlet or not connected?
Has the power circuit fused? Any trouble or wrong connection with the circuit?
Is voltage correct? (198~242V)
Has the temperature regulator been set to position “0”?
Poor Refrigeration
Is the temperature regulator set properly?
Is food or contents piled too thick?
Any hot food placed in the fridge?
Were the doors opened too frequently or not shut completely?
Is the fridge in a suitable place?
Loud Noise
Is the floor solid or flat?
Is the fridge seated stably?
Is the fridge touching the wall or other object?
Frozen Food in Cold-Storing Chamber
Is the temperature regulator set too high? Or set to position “7” for a long period of
time?
Is there water-rich food in the chamber?
Is the ambient temperature too low? (less than 10
C)
Never Stops Working
Is the temperature regulator set too high? (positions “6” & “7”)
Is there too much food in the chamber at one time or any hot food? If so, the
compressor will not return to normal until it operates for several hours.
Has the doors been opened too frequently or not shut properly?
Is the ambient temperature too high?
After checking, if troubles still persist, contact the manufacture. Do not disassemble any
parts by yourself or you may void the warranty.
