[LG refrigerator - frost] Frost formed inside the freezer compartment or food containers.

Troubleshooting

If you put hot food into the refrigerator without cooling it sufficiently, water vapor created as the food cools will cling to the inner surface of the refrigerator, and it may turn to frost or icicles.
Frost and condensation may form inside food containers when water contained in the food adheres to the cold surfaces of the food containers.
This may occur when you keep watery food in the refrigerator.
In addition, if you took out a food container and then placed it back into the freezer compartment, moist indoor air can enter the food container and frost may later form.
If you have recently purchased, moved, or cleaned the refrigerator and restarted it, frost may form as moisture condenses out of the newly refrigerated air inside the compartments.

Try this

Always cool hot foods sufficiently before you put them into the refrigerator.
The frosting issue occurs when moisture in the food or air condenses and freezes and is not related to inferior product performance.
If you have newly supplied power to your refrigerator, frost may form in the course of cooling existing air in the cooling compartments, but after a while the frost will disappear by itself as the refrigerator becomes stabilized. (Normally, this will take one to two weeks.)
※ A small amount of frost forming on foods and shelves is a normal thing.
Keep plastic bags well inside the refrigerator whenever possible as they may get caught in between the doors when you keep them in the bottle stand (basket) in the refrigerator door.
If you wipe off frost with a wet dishcloth, water contained the dishcloth may create even more frost.
Wipe off remaining condensed water with a dry cloth after you have removed any frost.
