Strange

Sound

Frost

& Dew

Explanation

Front and side of refrigerator

feels warm or hot.

Doors do not open easily.

It sounds like water is flowing

from the refrigerator.

Something cracking or click

sound.

Humming or buzz sound.

Dew or frost on the wall and/or

food container surface in the

freezer and refrigerator

compartment.

Dew on the interior lights cover

Dew on the cabinet surface

Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the

surface to prevent moisture forming on it.

When you close the door and then open again

immediately,the door is not easy to open.  Warm air

rushes into the inside to make the pressure difference.

In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily.

Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This

refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.)

When the compressor starts to run or stops,

refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in the

pipes can make such a sound.

Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to temperature

change ---When the inside gets cold or when the

door is open ---such sound can be made.

Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make

such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level,

the sound can be louder.)

Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases ;

High temperature and/or high humidity around the

refrigerator

When doors are open too long

Foods with much moisture are stored uncovered or

unwrapped

❈

You can see the same appearance when cold

water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming

on the surface of it. 

The light bulb radiates heat while it is on, so when

doors are open too long, dew can form on the light

cover due to temperature difference.

In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator,

moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form the

dew.
