cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plug at wall outlet is disconnected. Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check and/or replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay

long.

refrigerator to cool down completely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Automatic ice maker is operating. Ice maker operation causes refrigerator to run slightly more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doors are opened too frequently or too long. Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more.

 

 

 

Open doors less often.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refrigerator or freezer door may be slightly open. Make sure refrigerator is level. Keep food and

 

 

 

containers from blocking door. See Occurrence section OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refrigerator control (found in refrigerator section) is set too cold. Set refrigerator control to a warmer

 

 

 

setting until refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. Clean or change gasket. Leaks

 

 

 

in door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.

frequently.

 

off to keep temperature constant.

TEMPERATURES ARE TOO COLD

Chilled Air Control set too cold. Adjust Chilled Air Control to a lower setting.

Temperature in freezer or refrigerator is too warm.

Doors are opened too frequently or too long. Warm air enters refrigerator whenever door is opened. Open door less often.
