Sound
Rattling noise
●
Is the floor tough and horizontal? (P. 6)
●
Do both the legs reach the floor and is the refrigerator properly
fixed? (P. 6)
●
Do the sides of the refrigerator not touch the walls or furniture
around the refrigerator? (P. 6)
●
Does the power cord of the refrigerator not touch the walls or
furniture around the refrigerator? (P. 6)
Noise bothers me
●
The compressor or the fan may make loud noise when the
refrigerator is being cooled, such as when the refrigerator is not still
cooled soon after installation, the doors are frequently opened and
closed, the temperature around the refrigerator is high, or Fresh
Freezing is set ON. This is not abnormal.
→ When the refrigerator has been cooled, the noise becomes small.
Rapping sound can be heard
●
When the door is closed with a force or the floor is uneven, the
refrigerator shakes and generates noise. Place a plate under the
refrigerator to prevent it from shaking. (P. 6)
