[LG Water Purifier] Why does the rear side of the water purifier feel warm?

Repair

There is a motor (compressor) inside the water purifier which is used to chill water, similar to how refrigerators work.
The rear of the purifier getting hot is due to the same process that causes the outdoor unit of the air-conditioner to discharge hot air or the rear of the refrigerator to emit heat.
Heat being released to the outside as the motor operates is a normal part of the cooling mechanism.


Heat being released from the water purifier

Try this

During the process of chilling water, the heat sink absorbs heat from the water and releases it to the surrounding environment, causing a rise in the nearby temperature.
It is normal to feel warmth near the heat sink as it tries to maintain the temperature of the cold water.
To facilitate the dissipation of heat from the heat sink, it is recommended to keep a minimum distance of 10cm between the product and the wall.
