	Temperature control is not set correctly.	Set the temperature lower
	Refrigerator is located near a heat source or direct sunlight.	Keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight or a heat source.
	Not enough clearance between refrigerator and sides/rear.	Make sure to secure at least 7 mm of space from the rear and side walls of the cabinet
	Vacation mode is activated.	Deactivate vacation mode.
	The refrigerator is overloaded. Food is blocking the refrigerator vents.	Do not overload the refrigerator. Do not allow food to block ventilation
Fridge/freezer is over-cooling.	Temperature control is not set correctly	Set the temperature higher.
Interior wall is hot.	Refrigerator has heat-proof piping in the interior wall.	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

Odors

Symptom	Possible causes	Solution
Refrigerator has odors.	Spoiled food	Clean the refrigerator and remove any spoiled food.

	Food with high moisture content.	Make sure food is wrapped airtight.

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to normal sounds will be charged to the user.

These sounds are normal.

When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.

While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, no fan sound will occur.

During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds

As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.

As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are working.

For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.
Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.
