Parts & Features
Frost or condensation 
has formed inside or 
outside the appliance.
Is the installation environment humid?
•  Condensation can appear on the exterior of the appliance if the installation 
area is too humid or on a humid day such as a rainy day. Wipe off any 
moisture with a dry cloth.
The side or front of the 
appliance is warm.
There are anti condensation pipes fitted to these areas of the appliance 
to reduce condensation forming from around the door area.
•  The heat releasing pipe to prevent condensation is installed on the front 
and side of the appliance. You may feel it particularly hot right after the 
appliance is installed or during the summer. You can be assured that this 
is not a problem and is quite normal.
There is water inside or 
outside of the 
appliance.
Is there water leakage around the appliance?
•  Check if the water has leaked from a sink or another place.
Is there water on the bottom of the appliance?
•  Check if the water is from the thawed frozen food or a broken or dropped 
container.
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
The appliance door is 
not closed tightly.
Is the appliance leaning forward?
•  Adjust the front feet to raise the front side slightly.
Were the shelves properly assembled?
•  Refit the shelves if needed.
Did you close the door with excessive force?
•  If you apply too much force or speed when closing the door, it may remain 
briefly open before closing. Make sure that you do not slam the door 
closed. Close the door gently.
It is difficult to open 
the appliance door.
Did you open the door right after you closed it?
•  If you try to open the appliance door within one minute after you closed it, 
you may have difficulties because of the pressure inside the appliance. Try 
to open the appliance door again in a few minutes so that the internal 
pressure stabilizes.
The inside lamp in the 
appliance does not 
turn on.
Lamp failure
•  Close the door and re-open. If the lamp does not turn on, please contact 
the LG Electronics customer information centre. Do not attempt removal 
of the lamp.
