| Condensation & Frost | There is condensation inside the appliance or on the bottom of the vegetable drawer cover. Did you store hot food without cooling it first? Cool the hot food first before putting it inside the fridge or freezer. Did you leave the appliance door open? Although the condensation will disappear soon after you close the appliance door, you can wipe it with a dry cloth. Do you open and close the appliance door too frequently? Condensation can form due to the temperature difference from the outside. Wipe out the dampness with a dry cloth. Did you put warm or moist food inside without sealing it in a container? Store food in a covered or sealed container. |
| Frost has formed in the freezer compartment. Doors may not be closed properly. Check if the food item inside the appliance is blocking the door and make sure that the door is tightly closed. Did you store hot food without cooling it first? Cool the hot food first before putting it in the fridge or freezer compartment. Is the air entry or exit of the freezer compartment blocked? Make sure that air entry or exit is not blocked so that the air can circulate inside. Is the freezer compartment overfilled? Maintain an appropriate space between items. | |
| Frost or condensation has formed inside or outside the appliance. Did you open and close the appliance door frequently or is the appliance door improperly closed? Frosts or condensation can form if the outside air penetrates inside 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.

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. | |
| 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. | |
| It is difficult to open the appliance door. | 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. Did you open the door right after you closed it?
