Problem Check Explanation and action
Is the refrigerator installed near to an electronic device
such as a television?
Is the power to the refrigerator supplied from a socket
near the entry hole of the antenna cable?
Install the refrigerator away from electronic devices
such as televisions.

there is no grounded terminal on the plug, connect the
grounding wire.

Are the doors being opened frequently, or left ajar?
Is the humidity high, for example is it raining?
When moisture in the air cools, it forms frost or
condensation. Even when a door is open only slightly,
it can cause frost or condensation, or dripping onto
the fl oor.
Condensation may form temporarily. Wipe off with a dry
cloth. Condensation may cause frost to form in Freezer
compartment. Please minimize the time that doors are
kept open.
