Troubleshooting

If you encounter an abnormal situation with the refrigerator, first check the table below and try the suggestions.

Symptom Action
Does not operate or cool.	Make sure the power cord is connected properly.Make sure the temperature control is set correctly.Make sure to keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight or a heat source. Failing to do so may affect the cooling performance.Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear and side walls or the cabinet. Failing to do so may affect the cooling performance.Too much food may block the ventilation of the refrigerator. To keep the refrigerator in normal operation, do not put too much food inside.
Food in the fridge freezes.	Check if the temperature control is set to the lowest temperature. If so, change the temperature to higher or optimal.This happens if the ambient temperature is too low. Set the temperature higher.Check if food containing a high portion of water is put in the coldest area of the fridge or near the cooling vent. If this happens, move the food to other shelves in the fridge.
Emits noises.	Make sure the refrigerator is installed on a stable, flat surface.Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear and side walls or the cabinet.Make sure to keep the refrigerator from impurities or foreign objects inside or underneath.The refrigerator may produce a ticking sound from inside, which occurs when the various removable parts contract or expand. This is not a system failure.
The front corners and sides become warm and form condensation.	To prevent condensation from forming, the refrigerator has heat-proof piping in the front corners. If the ambient temperature rises, this equipment may not work effectively. This is not a system failure.Condensation may form on the exterior surface of the refrigerator if humid air comes into contact with the cool surface of the refrigerator.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Action
The ice maker does not make ice.	You must wait for 12 hours until the refrigerator makes ice.Make sure the freezer is set below 0 °C (or -5 °C in warm ambient air).
Produces a bubbling sound.	The refrigerator makes this sound during the cooling process, which is normal.
A bad smell comes from inside the refrigerator.	Check for any spoiled food. We recommend cleaning the refrigerator on a regular basis and remove any spoiled or suspect food items.Make sure strong smelling food is wrapped up airtight.
Frost forms on the interior walls.	Make sure no food blocks the vents of the refrigerator. It is also important to arrange food items evenly for ventilation.Make sure the door is closed properly.
Condensation forms on the interior walls or around vegetables.	This happens when food containing a high portion of water is stored uncovered, or the door has been left open for a while.Make sure food is covered or put in sealed containers.
