| REFRIGRATORS |

|
| |
|
The food stored at inner side of the shelf freezes
even the control knob is set at "MID." |
Check
if food is stored near the outlet of the cooling air. The temperature
at the cooling air outlet is always below the freezing point. Do
not store food near the outlet of the cooling air to hinder the
air circulation on and do not block the outlet. If the outlet of
the cooling air is blocked, the refrigerator compartment will not
be cooled. |
| |
|
The vegetables are frozen. |
Check
the vegetables storing location.
If vegetables are kept in the refrigerator compartment or chilled
drawer instead of vegetable drawer, they will be frozen.
Turn the control knob or button to “Low" if they are
also frozen in the vegetables drawer.
|
| |
| Freezing
is too strong. |
Check
the position of temperature control knob or button.
Check if freezing is strong in whole area of the freezer or partly
near the outlet of the cooling air.
If it is strong in whole area, please turn the control knob or button
to “Low."
If it is strong only near the outlet of cool air, keep food away from
the outlet. |
| |
| The
freezing capacity of direct cooling type is weak. |
The
direct cooling type is weaker than the Forced cooling type in freezing
power.
To maintain the proper temperature, defrosting should be done periodically
because frost accumulates on the evaporator and decreases the freezing
power significantly.
Defrosting method: Press Defrost button and let the frost on the
evaporator melt, and then wipe the moisture. |
 |
| Ice
cream softens. |
The
freezing point of ice cream is below -12 C.
Ice cream melts in direct cooling type refrigerator.
Ice cream also melts if kept in freezer door racks even in indirect
cooling type refrigerator. |
| |
| Refrigerated
water is not cool. |
Check
water storage location. If the bottles are kept in door racks and
desired Cooling is not achieved then keep it on the refrigerator
compartment shelf.
|
| |
| The
food in the chilled drawer is not frozen but defrosted. |
The
chilled drawer does not freeze the food.
Use chilled drawer for storing fresh meat and fish for short periods.
For storing for long periods or freezing food, use freezer compartment.
It is frozen food thaws above freezing temperature in the chilled
drawer.
|
| |
| Refrigeration
is weak. |
•
Check the position of temperature control knob or button.Refrigeration
is generally delivered with the knob or button set at "normal
use" (MID).
But customers can adjust it if they want.
If you feel the refrigeration is weak, turn the knob or button to
“High."
If you adjust the knob or button in the freezer compartment as well,
it will be
affect the freezer only.
• Check that the ambient temperature (especially in winter).
When the ambient temperature is low, the operation time of refrigeration
decreases and the temperature of the compartment refrigerator increases.
Therefore, compartment do not set the knob or button at "weak*
even in the winter. Set at "strong."
|
| |
| Frost
formation in the freezer compartment. |
The
main causes of frosting:
• The door is open.
• The air entry through gasket.
When hot food is stored in the freezer compartment
maintaining a temperature below 0 deg C, the hot air is mixed
with blown air to form fine frost.
• Leafy vegetables should be stored wrapped in plastic bags.
• All liquid(water)food items should not be kept exposed.
|
 |
| Odor
in the refrigerator compartment. |
Each
food has its own peculiar odor.
Therefore it is impossible to prevent or avoid food odor completely
when food is stored in the completely sealed refrigerator compartment.
Deodorizer can absorb some portions of the odor but not completely.
The intensity of the odor depends on refrigerator conditions and
environments.
Check the temperature control knob or button and set at “High."
Clean inside of the refrigerator with mild detergent and remove
moisture.
Dry inside by opening the door for about 3 or 4 hours and then set
the temperature control knob or button to “High.“
Do not keep any food item exposed.

| |
| Sounds
of water flowing. |
When
the refrigerator stops, the water flowing sound happens. This sound
happens when refrigerant flows from the evaporator to compressor.
|
| |
| Vibration
sound. |
•
Remove all the Utensils, Trays and Shelves. Check if abnormal sound
is present or not. Fix the drip tray if it is loosened.
• Sound depends on the installation location.
* Sound becomes louder if the refrigerator is installed on a wooden
floor or near a wooden wall. Move it to another location.
* If the refrigerator is not leveled properly, a small vibration
can make a loud sound. Please adjust the level of the refrigerator.
|
| |
| "Clunk"
sound. |
When
the refrigerator operates, the piston and motor in the compressor
rotate at 3000RPM.
This sound is caused by the vibration of motor and piston when they
start and finish their operation. This phenomenon can be compared
with that of cars.
When the car engine ignites and starts to rotate, the loud sound
becomes gradually quiet.
When the engine stops, it stops with vibration. |
| |
| "Click/Crack"
sound. |
The sound happens when pipes and internal evaporator in the refrigerator
compartment expand and contract as the temperature changes during
the refrigerator operation.
This sound also happens during defrosting, twice a day, when the
ice on the evaporator melts.
|
 |
| "Whizz"
sounds. |
All
refrigerators when functioning properly have normal operating sounds.
The compressor and fan produce sounds.
There is a fan in the freezer compartment which blows cool air to
the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
"Whizz" sounds are heard when the air passes through the
narrow holes into the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Cooling fan sound in the compressor compartment.
There is a fan under the refrigerator, which cools the compressor
compartment.
If there is a small space between the refrigerator and the wall,
the air circulation sounds may be noticeable.
• Sound of compressor.
This operating sound happens when the compressor compresses the
refrigerant.
The compressor rotates at 3000RPM. The sound of compressor operation
becomes louder as the refrigerator capacity increases.
|
| |
| Dew
forms inside the refrigerator and under the vegetable drawer cover. |
•"Hot"
food is stored without cooling. Cool hot food before storing in
the refrigerator.
• The door is opened for a long time. Dew vanishes automatically
but wipe it with dry cloth.
• The door is opened and closed frequently.
• The wet food is stored without a lid. Store the food in
a container with lid or sealed. The door is not closed securely.
Close the door securely.
• The inlet and outlet of the air vent of the compartment
is clogged. Leave space between foods for good air circulation and
do not block air inlet and outlet
• Too much food is stored in the freezer compartment. Too
much food inhibits proper air circulation and causes frost formation.
|
| |
| Food
in the chilled room does not freeze but thaws. |
The
meat is moved from the freezer compartment to the chilled drawer.
It is natural that the frozen food thaws in the chilled drawer.
