Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size, and shape. See the “Changing the Light Bulbs” section.

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?

Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

The motor seems to run too much

■Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the time.

■Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.

■Is the door opened often?

Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

■Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

■Are the doors not closed completely?

Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see “The doors will not close completely” later in this section.

■Are the condenser coils dirty?

This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the “Cleaning Your Refrigerator” section.

■Are the door gaskets not sealed all the way around? Contact a qualified person or a technician.

NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due to its high efficiency motor.

The refrigerator seems to make too much noise

■The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.

Refer to the “Understanding Sounds You May Hear” section.

The ice maker is not producing ice

■Is the freezer temperature not cold enough to produce ice?

Wait 24 hours after ice maker hook-up for ice production. Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

For models with an interior ice bin, remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. For models with an ice bucket, access the ice maker by depressing the ice bin sensor door on the upper left side of the freezer interior. While depressing the sensor door, lift the ice maker service door and remove the ice from the ejector with a plastic utensil. Refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.

■Does the ice maker mold have water in it?

Check to see if your refrigerator has been connected to your home water supply and the supply shut-off valve is turned on. Refer to the “Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source” section.

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem with the water line. Call for service.

■Has the ice maker just been installed?

Wait 72 hours for full ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled down, the ice maker should begin producing 70 to 120 cubes every 24 hours.

■Are the controls set correctly?

Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

■Is the water shut-off valve turned completely on?

Turn valve on fully. Refer to the “Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source” section.

The filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly. First, check the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or clogging is not a problem, call a qualified person or a technician.

Off-taste, odor or grey color in the ice

■Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or off-flavored ice?

Discard the first few batches of ice.

■Does the freezer and ice bin or bucket need to be cleaned?

See the “Cleaning Your Refrigerator” or “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.

A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
