Phenomenon: The door is too tight and not easy to open

Cause: Reopening of the door immediately after closing it is hard because hot air enters the refrigerator and contracts to produce a pressure difference. It will be easy to open the door after a short while.

Phenomenon: There is a water ripple noise in the refrigerator

Cause: When starting or stopping the compressor, the refrigerant will make such a sound; and; Water produced after defrosting will also make such a sound.
