The front corners and sides of the appliance are warm and condensation starts to form.	Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to prevent condensation from forming.When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.
You can hear a liquid bubbling in the appliance.	This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.
There is a bad smell inside the appliance.	Has a food item spoiled?Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.
There is a layer of frost on the appliance walls.	Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the refrigerator.Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.Is the door fully closed?
Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance and around vegetables.	Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
