Solution
This is normal for an
automatic defrosting
refrigerator.
Verify the plug is plugged in
the socket firmly.
Press the "Power" button for
3 seconds or more to restart
the refrigerator or turn the
knob from OFF to
temperature selection
position.
In this case, it is normal for
the refrigerator to run longer.
Normally, it takes 8 to 12
hours for the refrigerator to
totally cool down.
Ice‐making process makes the
refrigerator to run longer.
Warm air enters the
refrigerator and causes it to
start frequently. Please do not
open the door too frequently.
Ensure the refrigerator is
located on a level ground and
there is no food or container
jarring the door. See
"door/drawer
opening/closing" in section
"Problem"
Set the temperature higher
until a satisfactory refrigerator
temperature is obtained. It
takes 24 hours for the
refrigerator temperature to
become stable.
Clean or replace the door
gasket. A leakage gap of door
gasket can cause a longer
running time of the
refrigerator in order to
maintain desired
temperature.
Clean the condenser.
