Abnormal noise
Ensure the appliance is plugged in and connected to power
Check that the voltage is not low
The temperature control knob is not set to "OFF"
Thoroughly clean the interior of the refrigerator.
Do not overload the appliance
Do not put hot contents in the appliance
Note that it is normal that the appliance operates for a longer time in
summer when the ambient temperature is higher
Check whether the appliance is connected to power supply. If the light is
damaged, have it replaced by a specialist.
Check for any items blocking the appliance door or unbalanced items.
Check if the appliance is tilted
Ensure that the appliance is sitting on a flat and stable surface
Ensure that the appliance accessories are properly placed
Remove foreign matter from the door seal.
Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or use an electrical drier
or a hot towel for heating).
Heavy defrosting may occur when there is too much food in the
appliance chamber or if the food contains too much water.
Frosting may occur if the doors are not properly closed, as entry of air
could cause frosting which could increase water overflow during defrost.
Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing is normal.
When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature or storage of
too much food, provide ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.
Condensation on the exterior of the door seals is normal when the ambient
humidity is too high. Wipe condensation with a clean towel.
The compressor may cause a buzzing sound when starting up or
shutting down.
The solenoid valve or electric switch valve may create a clattering
sound which is normal and does not affect the operation.
