Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Check | Explanation and Action |
|---|---|---|
| Does not cool well | Has enough time passed after installation? | It takes 4 to 5 hours for the refrigerator to cool, and may take 24 hours in summer to fully cool. |
| Is the temperature setting set to "L"? | Set to "M" or "H", or set the versa compartment to "FRZ•H" or to the setting of your liking. ➡ Pages 21 - 22 | |
| Is the compartment set to Power Save Mode? | Cancel Power Save Mode. ➡ Page 24 | |
| Is the flow of cold air being blocked? Are the doors being opened frequently, or left ajar? Is food blocking them? | Make space between foods and remove any food that is sticking out of shelves or touching the ceiling of the drawers. Avoid opening and shutting the door for a while. | |
| Is heat discharging being blocked? Check if there is no gap around the refrigerator and the refrigerator is exposed to direct sunlight. | Check that there is enough space around the refrigerator and that it is properly installed. | |
| Ice melts | In Versa Compartment... | For storing ice cream and frozen foods, set to "FRZ•H". ➡ Pages 21 - 22 Soft-Freezing is set at the time of purchase. Food does not quickly freeze. With Soft-Freezing, food freezes at about -7°C, so it may take up to about 24 hours for food to completely freeze. Supercool Freezing takes time (about 8 to 9 hours) to uniformly freeze food from the core. Soft-Freezing freezes food. Food appears to freeze just as when it freezes in the freezer. |
| Is the temperature on the operation panel set to "H"? | Set the temperature to "M". Also, the temperature with each setting may temporarily decrease. | |
| Is food with a lot of moisture stored at the rear of the shelf? | Place drinks and food containing a lot of water, such as tofu, vegetables and fruits, at the front of the shelf or in a door pocket. Low-fat and low-sugar foods are likely to freeze easily when they are stored at the rear of the shelf. | |
| Food freezes in the refrigerator and vegetable compartments | Is the surrounding temperature 5°C or less? | Food in the refrigerator compartment or vegetable compartment may freeze. Freezing is less likely when the temperature settings are set to "L". ➡Pages 21 - 22 |
| Is the water supply pipe installed correctly without any gaps or looseness? | If there are foreign objects loosening the pipe or if there is a gap, strong cold air can flow into the refrigerator compartment. Make sure that it is securely set. Page 27 | |
| Is the refrigerator compartment's temperature set to "H"? | Set the temperature of the refrigerator compartment to "M" or "L". |
