At a Glance
Is the area near the refrigerator door hot? Does it feel hot when you touch the front or side of the refrigerator?
The area where the refrigerator doors meet is vulnerable to condensation because the cold air inside the refrigerator often comes into contact with the warmer outside air.
To prevent this, a heating wire is embedded in the refrigerator structure.
In addition, there is a heat dissipation pipe on the side of the refrigerator that releases heat when the cooling motor (compressor) is operating, which may cause you to notice the heat.
This warm feeling near the door or side of the refrigerator is a normal occurrence that occurs while the refrigerator is operating normally, and is not a malfunction.

Is it hot near the door of the refrigerator, especially between the two doors of the side-by-side refrigerator?
➔ It is a normal phenomenon as the refrigerator has a heating wire embedded to prevent water droplets from forming.
The area around the refrigerator door is an area where cold air can easily reach outside warmer air when you open and close the door.
There is a heating wire that generates heat to prevent water droplets from forming as a result of temperature differences.
Do the sides or back of the refrigerator feel hot?
➔ Make sure that the back of the refrigerator is well-ventilated.
You must install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area and keep it at least 5cm away from walls.
This is to allow the natural heat generated by operating the refrigerator to escape easily.
If there is a lot of dust on the back of the mechanical compartment, remove the dust to allow the heat to escape.
Have you purchased a new refrigerator? Have you turned on the refrigerator after leaving it off for a long time in order to move and reinstall it?
➔ The cooling motor operates to create new cold air and naturally dissipates the heat.
When it is full of cold air, it emits less heat.
The cooling motor works more actively when you need to quickly fill the refrigerator with cold air.
When the temperature is high in the summer, or when the refrigerator door is frequently opened, allowing the cold air to escape, the refrigerator can operate at length in order to cool the outside air that has entered and release the heat generated as a result.
