If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance.. .
Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind
If your refrigerator will not operate:
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer had enough ttme to get cold? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight
l Is the signal arm ON. In the down positIon
l Is the water valve turned on7 Is water getting to the Ice maker7
l Is the electric cord plugged In’J
lIs a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped? l Is the Temperature Control turned ON?
If there Is a rattling or jlngllng nolse, or other unfamlllar sounds:
l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing noise when the refrigerator is running?
l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining into the defrost pan
If there Is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather, this IS normal The pan can even be half full Make sure the refrigerator IS level so the pan doesn’t overflow
If the lights aren’t working:
l Check fuses and circuit breakers Make sure it’s plugged in
If a bulb is burned out:
l See Instructions for changing light bulbs on page 8. Use appliance bulbs only
If the motor seems to run too much:
l Is the condenser, behind the base grille. free of dust and lint?
l On hot days, or if the room IS warm, the motor naturally runs longer
l If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large amount of food has been put in. the motor will run longer to cool down the interior
Remember: Motor running time depends on dif- ferent things, number of doot openings. amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls.
And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled It also has a regular freezer Instead of a frozen food compartment. All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one
