PowerInterruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:

■Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

■Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.

■If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer required.

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator on While You’re Away:

1.Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2.Press HOLIDAY MODE pad.

3.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the water supply to the ice maker.

4.Empty the ice bin.

5.When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY MODE to return to normal operation.

If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

■When the last load of ice drops, slide the ice maker control to the OFF (down) position.

3.Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using Controls.”

4.Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your refrigerator will not operate

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■Is the refrigerator or freezer control turned to the OFF position? See “Using the Control(s).”

■Is the refrigerator defrosting? Recheck to see if the refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

■Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See “Using the Control(s).” If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

The lights do not work

■Is the refrigerator in “Holiday Mode?” See “Holiday Mode.”

■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See “Changing the Light Bulb(s).”

■Has the door been open more than 10 minutes? When the door is held open for more than 10 minutes, the “Door Open” indicator light will flash and the interior lights will shut off. See “Door Open” in “Using the Control(s).”

There is water in the defrost drain pan

■Is the refrigerator defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.

■Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
