Explanation and Action
1
There is a
rattling sound
1
Are any nearby objects in contact with
the refrigerator?
Leave space around the refrigerator. When objects or walls
are in contact with the refrigerator, sounds may be heard.

Make sure that the water tank and water
supply pipe are properly installed.
Push in the water tank until it touches the rear side. If it is out
of position, the sound of the water supply pipe can grow loud.
If there are any gaps or looseness, the water may freeze,

Loud noises
Worrisome
noises (Noises
described on the
right are normal)
1
The noise gets louder suddenly
or the tone changes.
Immediately after beginning use, when the weather is hot,
when the doors are frequently opened and closed, and in
similar situations, the refrigerator switches to high-speed
operation and cools with high power.
2
A whistling sound is made after closing a door.
This is the sound of the cooling fan motor starting.
3
A whipping or dripping sound is sometimes
heard from inside the refrigerator after
a door is opened.
This is the creaking sound as warm air enters and expands
the plastic.
4
Sometimes the sound of flowing or boiling
water can be heard.
This is the sound of the refrigerant (gas) flowing.
5
A rattling or squeaking sound is made
sometimes (every 1 to 2 hours).
This is the sound of the autom atic ice maker. Even when there is
no water in the water tank, the automatic ice maker and pump make
a sound about every 100 minutes.
6
After turning on the power, a thumping or
creaking sound may be heard in the ice
making “STOP ICE” mode (every 1 to 2 hours).
This is the sound of the operation check. The check is
performed even in the “STOP ICE” ice making mode.
Doors do not
close
Doors open
easily
1
Is a door making contact with food or a
case? Is too much food packed inside?
Store food so that the door does not make contact with the
food when closed. In the refrigerator compartment, store food
on the shelves and in the drawer doors store food so that it
does not make contact with the ceiling when doors are shut
and opened.
2
Has food fallen behind a case in a drawer
door, or is the power cord or another object
trapped between the refrigerator and
a door?
Remove any objects. Make sure that the door does not trap
objects such as food, power cords or plastic bags.

Lower the adjustable supports to raise the front side slightly
and make the doors easier to close.
