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.
